TS precondition help

[chaotic_demon]

Hi, newbie here.

(Apologies if this has been posted before. I have searched, but cannot find a suitable answer)

I have a main sequence of 20+ steps.

In the cleanup of the main sequence I want to run a step, ONLY if all steps in the main sequence have passed.

I realise I could use the precondition function:

AllOf(

RunState.Sequence.Main["step1 name"].Result.Satus == "Passed",

RunState.Sequence.Main["step2 name"].Result.Satus == "Passed",  

etc....

)    

But, I want a more elegant solution than this so I can add this cleanup step to other

sequences (with different steps) without having to build this function for each.   

Is there a way to do this?

Perhaps by looking up an overall pass status, rather than individual steps?        

Even better would be a lookup variable that can be accesed through CVI.   

Any thoughts appreciated.

(TS4.0, CVI 8.5)

Hi,

Try

!RunState.SequenceFailed

Thanks Ray, spot on!

Hi again.

Is there a CVI accesible variable which can be checked to see if the test sequence has been terminated?

Hi,

Are you in a code module that is probably performing some loop and you want to check that the operator hasn't pressed the Terminate or Abort button?

If the answer is Yes, then you probably need to use TS_ExecutionGetTerminationMonitorStatus.

Attached is a piece of CVI code which shows its use. The TestStand Programmer Reference will also help.

I think this is from an example from the NI website

Hope it helps

Thanks Ray, that looks ideal.

Appreciate your swift reply.
