How to pass data result from one sequence step to another.

[Matrix007]

I need to gather an offset voltage in one of my sequence steps. Another step later in the sequence uses this offset voltage to set a base level for more measurements. I need to pass the offset voltage to these later steps to create an offset base voltage to use in a formula to calculate a current gain in the positive and negative directions..

Just pass the value to a local variable.

Hi,

... and also take a look to the "HelloWorld" example the Computer Motherboard Test Sequence.seq 

you will find it in

Thanks for the replies. I should have mentioned that I don't have a text programming background and I should have given some more details. I know that I need to pass a local variable from one step to another. What I need to know is how to write the expression properly to pass this variable. When I tried it on my own I passed the offset variable numeric data from a numeric limit test step to a local variable. It passed the data to the local variable but it lost the numeric value for the step I was writing the expression for. This resulted in a "0" numeric value for my initial offset value step that fails this numeric limit test.

Local variables just don't get 'lost'. Why don't you attach the sequence file and any code modules you are using?
