Execution Time

[Zuc_Lab]

Hi,

I need to access to the variable related to the Execution Time reported in the TestStand Report header when the Execution Time option is enabled, but I can’t find it. Where I can search for that value? Is it the total time that the Engine takes to execute the Main Sequence or I’m completely wrong?

Thank you for the help!

Best Regards,

This is related to the style sheet you are using. If you switch it to tr6_report.xsl, you will find the module times

Hi,

but since i can't change stylesheet, how I can solve my question?

Can't change the stylesheet as in "I need to use this layout"?

You can actually modify the stylesheet

Hi,

i have to use the tr6_horizontal.xsl stylesheet so i need to figure out where to find the total time without computing it for each step.

I have found that during RunTime in the sequence ModelSupport.seq to Call Model Plugin - Post UUT it is passed a reference to Main Sequence Call back (see the image below) that inside the TS variable has the Total Time. I need to have that information accessible also from the Callback PostUUT (i'm using the TestUUT entry point)

You could as well use the low-level approach.... 

Get the start time (code module?) as the first step in the Setup Section of the sequence and in the cleanup section, get the actual time, calculate the time diff and add it as an additional result to the report?

Will solve the issue only for this sequence though

Hi,

i have found this solution:

1. add the PostMainSequence Callback

2. in the parametrs there is MainSequenceResult

3. in PostMainSequence Callback assigne with a statement step the MainSequenceResult to a global variable

4. from every sequence (in my case the PostUUT callback) in the FileSequence you can now obtain the MainSequence Callback Total Time with a statement step like:

          Locals.TotalTime = #NoValidation(FileGlobals.MainSequenceResultReferences.TS.TotalTime)

I suppose that the best part of this approach is that you don't have to modify the SequentialModel.seq, or any kind of model that you are using, and you don't have to add other operation post step.

If anyone has any advice for improving my method i will be happy to try it!
