creating custom edit step (LV) for multiple numeric test

[Schwede]

Hello,

i want to write a custom edit step (LabView) for a custom multiple numeric test (TestStand 3.0). It should be the replacement for the editmultinumericmeasurementstep. Have anybody done this before and example code or a solution?

greetings schwede

Hello,

thankyou for your answer. But it doesn`t help. I know how to create a custom step type. But I want to create a custom multiple numeric limit test step type with a custom vi as the editmultinumericmeasurementstep. It is quiet difficulty, because i want to create my own measurements (see the attachment). The name of the test should not be measurement 0 or 1 but LED test color oder LED test intensity.

greetings schwede

Hi,

Would it not been better to use a several arrays or an array of clusters to hold your front panel control in. The size of the array would have been dependent on the number of limit tests. At the moment you are restricted to three.

The name of the NI_LimitMeasurement container is easily changed, its just a property of the container which you will have a reference to when you insert it to the array of measurements.

The best thing to do is look at the C Code of the original MultipleLimitTest which you will find in the Components \NI \Steptypes folder.

Hello,

yes you are right a array is much better, but this is only an example.

I haven`t the possibility to look in the code. In the attachment I send you a vi that work if I start it as an edit step (start in the context menu). It overwrites the old measurements of the step. But I don`t where to position it at the right place, that I can modify the limits and names and it set the measurements automatically.
