Property Loader

[mbrener]

Hi

Is there a way to load parameters for steps such as numeric limt test using the property loader?

Currently I believe to acheive this your required to add locals or parameters to a sequence.

Is there a better way while allowing updates to be made from a  text file.

In the example at the above link loads the limits for three step.

You dont need any locals or parameters.

The PropertyLoader allows you the abililty to load from a file different properties such as Locals, parameters, fileglobals and Step Properties such as Limits.

Not sure I understand your sentence - "Is there a better way while allowing updates to be made from a  text file."

well, I'm using property loader in my main sequence and it works

I'm also using it in sub sequence, in the setup part but seems it doesn't work, is there any special condition to use the property loader step like at the beginning of the main sequence and not in setup part of sub sequence ?

Hi,

It should work. Just to clarify, are you saying the PorpertyLoader Step placed in the Setup doesn't work but placed in the Main and it does?

what TestStand version are you using?

yes,it didn't work inside the sub step and finally I changed the Load Option to Load dynamically and it works now
