RawLimits

Ref TestStand 2016

On my XML results file there appears extra rows titled 'RawLimits:' after each test, which is really annoying and taking up space on the report. How do I turn off this unwanted feature?

Can you post an image of what it looks like?  This doesn't seem native to TestStand.

I misspoke.  It is a newer thing in TestStand.  Perhaps this can shed some light:

some info there but nothing on how to get rid of the annoying useless extra lines of 'RawLimits' that clogs up the XML report.

Anyone know how to get rid of the 'RawLimits'?

There's not a lot of documentation out there about this.  I couldn't reproduce it.  If you just do a new sequence file with a multi-numeric step type do you see the RawLimits in there?  Trying to narrow down if it is the plugin options (which I couldn't see anything) or whether it is a setting in the step that causes it to show on the report.

I narrowed it down to the XML stylesheet. Using the standard 2016 horizontal XML stylesheet I don't get the problem. Whilst using a stylesheet that was perfect when using TS2012, seems to give these extra RawLimits lines using TS2016 for some reason.

Did you modify the 2012 style sheet?  Or is it just the one that ships with TestStand? 

I've attached the 2014 one if you want to try it.  You need to remove the .txt extension.

I modified the 2012 style sheet to change the header only, not the results format. To confirm I also tried the standard TS2012 horizontal stylesheet and the TS2014 one that you posted, both of these produced the extra 'RawLimits' lines in the report. The standard horizontal stylesheet that comes with 2016 does not produce the extra 'RawLimits' lines in the report.

I can only guess that NI have changed the model in TS2016 to include 'RawLimits' and the older stylesheets cannot cope with this extra code, thus producing these extra lines.

It looks like I will have to re-write my older stylesheet into the new 2016 stylesheet format; what a pain.

Hello, any update for this issue? have to change default style sheet?

[stevesteve]

Yes, could not use my existing 2010 stylesheet so had to use the new 2016 stylesheet and re-write it to format it similar to the original 2010 stylesheet; what a pain.
