Run-time error not shown in ResultList

[Chickentree]

I try to log run-time errors using a custom data logging VI in the Cleanup stage of the sequence. I caused a run-time error, which is clearly shown in the execution window but I do not see it in the ResultList. Where can I obtain the error message then? Please refer to the attached images.

I appreciate any input.

Hi,

I found some examples showing a couple of different ways to handle errors in Teststand. I think these examples will give you a good idea on how to configure your test sequence. The readme file attached to each example is also very helpful.

Thanks for the reply. I already took a look at the website in the meantime. I found that the error (Code, Msg & Occurred) is logged at the sequence call level while the error container for the particular step which caused the error does not hold any information. However, I need to indicate which step within the subsequence caused the error. Is there any simple way to do this?

I found that the error I created was rather a special case. I used a wrong variable name in the Additional Results tab to cause an error. When I tried causing an error in the precondition or limits, the error was properly saved to the step's error container.

Ahh. Glad you were able to figure it out!
