Teststand database array limitations

[rimfire44]

I am exporting arrays of data from TestStand to an Access Database. I am dumping the array to a local in TS, and then outputting the data using the Additional Results property.  I am running into a problem in that the size of the array I can export seems to be limited. I ran some experiments and I can export a 60x60 2D array of numbers without problems and view them in the Access Display Binary Data window. But if the array gets much bigger the display window shows nothing.  I haven't been able to determine if the data never gets to the data base or if the database is gumming up the works.

So I am wondering if TS has a limitation on the size of tables or if the limitation is in Access.  It seems like these are very small table, so the most likely thing is that I am doing something incorrectly. Any hints?

Thanks

Hi rimfire44,

I agree with you. This is definitely unusual behaviour. What version of Teststand are you using? Is this the first time that you have seen this issue when logging to a database? I know TestStand should be able to handle the size of the arrays that you are working with.

Sorry for the long response time Perry.  I am using TS 4.2.1.83.

As for whether this is the first time this has happened, the answer is yes but only because it is the first time I have tried to do it.

Hi rimfrie44,

Can you post screen shots of the Database viewer when you are archiving a table of 60x60 and one that is larger so that I can see the difference? Also what schema are you using in your database options? Could you upload a screen shot of that as well. This will help me get a better picture of your settings and the results of those settings.
