Option ReTest Sequence Failure

[bolitski]

Hi All,

I'm quite new in test stand and I need some help on my test program.

I have a local sequence created on my main sequence. I shall call this sequence as "tuning".

This "tuning" sequence actualy tests if the unit is tuned properly.

In most cases the first tuning always fail. So I want to give them the option to retune it and redo the sequence again.

I can do a pass fail count on the looping properties for example "Stop after 1 pass or a maximum of 10 Iterations" in which to my understanding

is the operator can tune it upto 10 ten times before it could be considered a fail unit.

My problem is that sometimes after one tuning test the operator can tell right away that it is a helpless case and it can not be tuned. So i dont want them

to wait until ten times before failing a unit since the sequence cycle time is quite long.

I want to give them an option to fail the unit right away if they think its a failure maybe after trying 4-5 times.

This where my question goes::: how do i approach it?

Advise will be gladly appreciated.

Best Regards,Ray

You could try a 2-button popup with the precondition of the step set to the 'tuning' sequence fail. One button would make the 'tuning' sequence repeat and the other would return control to the main sequence.

Hi,

Have a look at the teststand\examples\callbacks for the SequenceFilePostStepFailure.

Hi Ray B.

What about "Custom" Loop Type?  There you can define you own loop expression.

Hi..Id been trying to do this triggering the 2-button pop up with a precondition..but i don't know how to clear the sequence failure status...can someone help me on this?

This is what I have done.. I don't know where I'm getting wrong..
