How to use if else condition to determine sequence pass fail

[AnandAbhishek]

I have a sequence where I need to determine its pass fail status by comparing two values. The values are returned by different LabVIEW vis', say. Locals.ValueReturnedByVI_1 and another value say  Locals.ValueReturnedByVI_2. Now, I intend to compare those values using a If-Else Condition and determine whether this sequence has passed or failed.

If (Locals.ValueReturnedByVI_1 == Locals.ValueReturnedByVI_2)

/*This sequence has failed*/

else

/*This sequence has passed*/

End

I dont know what should be done inside the conditon blocks to state the pass-fail of the sequence.

Or is there a better way to do this?

Hi,

You could try a ternary condiiton statement in the Post-Expression function of the sequence.

Something like;

Step.Result.Status = (Locals.ValueReturnedByVI_1 == Local.ValueReturnedByVI_2)?"Failed":"Passed"

Another option would be to use a Pass/Fail Test step with no adapter. Set the Data Source Expression to Locals.ValueReturnedByVI_1 == Locals.ValueReturnedByVI_2.

The biggest difference I can think of is how the result would be displayed in a report. I would keep that in mind as you choose how to approach this.

I used this method. The result generated is according to the formats we follow.

Thank you Steven and Curt for the help.
