Is it possible to add comments to the report

[srapp@moog.de]

Hello,

Is it possible to add own comments to the report due to make it easier to localize errors.

How can I do this?

You can add comments to a test step by changing Step.Result.ReportText.  This shows up in the report as:

Begin Sequence: MainSequence
(C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.1\PlugInDemo\OptionSequence2.seq)

Step	Status	Measurement	Units	Limits
				Low Limit	High Limit	Comparison Type
OptionSequence2	Passed
Report Text:	This is a comment

End Sequence: MainSequence

Hi,

I was just wondering that if anyone would know how to make this expression to work with numeric limit test.

Example:

On pass = no report text

On fail = some informative text

I did get this working with pass/fail test but not in numeric test

Hi,

You would have to perform the limit checking earlier to be able to set the reporttext. maybe in the post expression and something like this:

(

CheckLimits(Step.DataSource == "Step.Result.Numeric" ? Step.Result.Numeric : (Step.Result.Numeric = Evaluate(Step.DataSource)), step.limits.high, step.limits.low, Step.comp)=="Passed")?( Step.Result.ReportText="New Text"😞 (Step.Result.ReportText="Old Text")

The problem with this is you are checking the result twice. 

You could try using the Callback "SequenceFilePostStepFailure". Then you could use and expression step and set the step result reporttext as such.

Parameters.Step.Result.ReportText = "This test failed"

The problem with this is it affects every step, but its probably the way to go.
