floating point format in report

[Odd_Modem]

I am using TestStand 3.1 and LabVIEW 7.1. I set the default report format for HTML report to _whatever_, %#5.13f, append trailing zeros etc, and this format is present for report entries such as limits. It is not present for the actual measured value, and this seems subject to some display format rounding. For instance, my limit test will be GELE and the lower limit will be 3.0000000000000. The measurement will be 2.956785434 and the test will fail, but in the report the measurement is formatted as 3.0. What has gone wrong?

Hi Odd_Modem,

I attempted to reproduce the behavior you saw but was unsuccessful. I had the same HTML format options selected as you did but didn't see any problems with the report output. It showed the measurement of 2.956785434.  Could you post a screenshot of your HTML settings so I can see if I have anything that differs? Also, are there any other settings you may have changed from the default state?

Hi Odd_Modem,

There is three places that you can specify the numeric format in TestStand. You can specify the numeric format in:

1) Report Options

2) Editing the Numeric Limit Test (Right-click on your numeric limit test >> Edit Limits >> Numeric Format)

3) Tree View (Right-click in sequence window >> Open Tree View)

in TestStand where you can specify the numeric format. The first place was in the report options and the second was editing th

Hi Odd_Modem,

Sorry for the crazy email. I accidentally replied when I was not ready.  

Anyway, the third option was the Tree View. Once inside the tree, browse to Main >> Numeric Limit Test >> Result >> Numeric.  Right-click on the numeric field (in the right window) and select properties. Then select Numeric Format and change the significant digits.  This should fix your issue since this property is the highest precedence. The order of precedence is (Numeric in Tree View -> Limits -> Report options).

Hope this helps!

Best Regards,
