Hi,

Actually the report generation takes place through the process model. The sequence in the process which does that is TestReport which actually calls the subsequences (in xml case C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 4.0\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\reportgen_xml.seq) or a particular dll for report generation. The result of all the steps are taken from the Results container.

The stylesheets are present at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 4.0\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\StyleSheets folder.

Regards,

In addition, TestStand 4.2 features improved XML Style Sheets that are restructured to reduce the time required to generate HTML output from XML report files and to simplify the task of modifying style sheets so that you can change the appearance and content of XML reports.
