TestStand 3.5 step run mode ingnored during execution

[Daz37]

Hi,

I am seeing a problem in Teststand 3.5 to do with the step run mode. I have a sequence which i have a number of steps that i have set the run mode to skip. However when i execute the sequence some of the run mode skip settings are ignored, by this i mean that they are set back to run mode normal.

It is always the same test steps that this happens with, one step is a numeric limit test and one is a CVI dll multi numeric limit test call. I have tried saving the sequence under a different name in case the sequence has somehow corrupted but this made no difference.

Has anyone seen this before?

Hi,

Is it possible to post an example highlighting this problem?

Hi

Thanks for replying to my query.

I found the cause of the problem. The production test platform uses a custom station model, which inturn has an external testplan that defines which test steps are run so it ignores the run mode setting i was selecting.
