Exporting/Loading properties for Multiple Numeric steps

[Hoss183]

So, my test uses quite a few 'Multiple Numeric' test steps.

I am just looking at using the property loader to import all of these limit values.

Now as i understand each test step in the property file (excel im y case) must have multiple columns (for each index in the data array)

I also understand that the easiest way to generate the excel properties file is to export it before adding the values.

Now, I am using the 'tools - import/export properties' window, and i try to add Step.Result.Measurement[x].Limits.Low but it is not available.

There is an entry for Step.Result.Measurement[?].HighExpr, so i can add that, then change it to [0], [1] etc

Is there not a way to add all of the array items at once?

I need '.comp' '.Limits.Low' '.Limits.High' for each array element.

Have i missed something obvious?

No you haven't missed something obvious. I dont believe this has change in any way of the various TestStand version.

What version of TestStand are you using?

Hi, I;m using 2010.

I'll give a more specific case:

In one of my multiple numeric tests i have the limit expression : Step.Result.Measurement["ck1+"].Limits.High

(I even tryed removing the alias and using : Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.High)

This can be found in the expression browser tree.

But this does not appear in the tree of expressions when using the properties import/export window.

The only items that do are: Result.Measurement[?].Limits.LowExpr & Result.Measurement[?].Limits.HighExpr

i have tried manual editing entries there, but they are ignored when exporting.

Help

Just for the record, i solved this.

Bascially my misunderstanding of how the limit expressions are entered.

I have tried to put the expression e.g Result.Measurement[?].Limits.Low into the limit expression for that step and then export to properties file.

It seem the correct way is to leave the limit as a numeric and then the Step.Result.Measurement[?].Limits.Low be available in the import/export properties window. Just change each [?] to the array index & repeat.
