displaying test result prior the post step action

[PeggyC]

Hi,

I am working on a problem right now that I have a test sequence that uses test step "Post Actions" to call the next test.  But, one thing I found that the on the fly report is printing out the next test step result prior the current test step. (I have OTF enabled)  Because the test sequence that I am working on is an established test sequence file and what I have control over is the TestStand customization.  Is there a way that I can modify the TestStand so that the result is printed before "Post Action"?

Thanks.

Can you upload an example report and an example sequence?

Hi Peggy,

What version of TestStand are you using? Could you up load a screen shot of the settings that you have and the results that you are getting? This will help me get a clearer picture of what is going on.

Thanks,

I am using TestStand 4.2.1. 

I attached a simple example sequence and the following is the result I got when I use the default TestStand SequentialModel process (ASCII report).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test 1:                        Running

   Begin Sequence: Test1-SubSequence
   (C:\T50DepotATE\Sequence File 2.seq)

   Test1.1 Pass/Fail Test:        Passed
   Test 1.2 Numeric Test:         Passed
        Measurement:              10
        Limits:
           Low:                   9
           High:                  11
        Comparison Type:          GELE (>= <=)

   End Sequence: Test1-SubSequence

Test 1:                        Failed
     Measurement:              20
     Limits:
        Low:                   9
        High:                  11
     Comparison Type:          GELE (>= <=)

   Begin Sequence: Test1-SubSequence
   (C:\T50DepotATE\Sequence File 2.seq)

   Test1.1 Pass/Fail Test:        Passed
   Test 1.2 Numeric Test:         Passed
        Measurement:              10
        Limits:
           Low:                   9
           High:                  11
        Comparison Type:          GELE (>= <=)

   End Sequence: Test1-SubSequence

The thing I need to do is to display the bold red section with the bolded blue section.

But, as I monitor the "ProcessModelPostResultListEntry" callback sequence, I couldn't figure out where and how they get the report.

I had a simple sequence file with one step in the MainSequence which called sequence A with one test step in, if the main step passed and sequence B with one test step in, if the main step failed.

What I noticed was the report had two sets of results for MainSequence. First it showed MainSequence as still Running with the result of the Sequence A or B (depending on the Pass / Fail action).

Then it showed the result of MainSequence Pass or Failed and the Result of Sequence A or B. (This was for OTF).

For normal Reporting, the report was as expected.

Just noticed this is the same as Peggy is seeing.

I guess it's deep in the OTF DLL and maybe you could not report the SubSequence results while the Caller Step is still as a status of Runnig.
