In Parallel mode how do I modify total test time?

[Guinnessman5150]

I am running the standard parallel process model with my sequence that runs a max of two uut's. Because I have some shared equipment I have placed a "LOCK" function, however, my issue is that the first socket finished shows the correct time and the second socket shows two times the amount of time. I understand this is do to the run time of the first socket (which the second sockets waits on) and the second socket run time. My question is how can I modify the Total run time so that both sockets show the actual run time. For example, the way it works now is test time on socket one was 3:00 minutes and test time on socket two would show 6:00 minutes, I want it to show 3:00 minutes on both socket one and socket two.

Hi Guinnessman,

Why are you trying to modify that property? 

You would have to modify a TestStand API parameter with your data, overriding the pre-definied values. In this situation you would have to look at modifying Parameters.MainSequenceResult.TS.TotalTime to show you the total time the socket ran as opposed to the total execution time.

I am looking to modify this to show that the actual test time for each socket is "X". If one shows say 45 seconds and the next is 90 seconds I dont get a true run time of the test per unit.

Hi Guinessman,

What version of TestStand are you using? If you are TestStand 2014, you can call the model callback, post UUT, and modify the parameter - 

Parameters.TestSocket.MainSequenceResults.TS.TotalTime to have the definition that you are looking for!
