TestStand Callbacks....CancelStepCallback

[TreyB]

I have two sequence callbacks, PostStep and StepFailure. I am wanting to use Step.CancelStepCallback inside of the PostStep callback, since it is called before StepFailure, so StepFailure callback is not executed, on certain occasions. Is there a way to do this? I have tried "CancelStepCallback" with no luck.

Hi TreyB

What do you mean with:

" I am wanting to use Step.CancelStepCallback inside of the PostStep callback, since it is called before StepFailure, so StepFailure callback is not executed, on certain occasions."

My curiosity is the last statement:

" on certain occasions."

Warm Regards,

I think I have created a work around but what I was trying to accomplish was retesting a numeric limit step, if it failed, without displaying a failed status to the script and report. So, on the first test check, I would go into the PostStep....if there was a failure I wanted to cancel callbacks and go to specific step to retest. Instead the script would execute my PostStep callback and also the PostStepFailure callback and leave a Failed status.

Reason, I have operater entered values through a popup. This could lead to operator error. I have a limit test step that checks these values. Without adding addition steps, I wanted to confirm the value, if a failure, repeat the prompt for value re-entry...do not show a failure on the limit test step. After a second value entry, if it still is a limit test failure then proceed.

I have a work around instead of using callbacks right now. I am using the Looping tab feature currently with success. I originally was wondering if I called the "CancelStepCallback", inside of PostStep callback, why would the PostStepFailure callback still execute.
