make Teststand results unigue only for selected sequences

[beam7]

Hi,

I know how to make Teststand results unique by ticking the box in the report options but can I change that option depending on what test sequence I run.

ie. if the user is running a pre-burn-in test, he would like the results to be in one file (even if it was run 5 times) but if he is running a post-burn-in test, he would like a single results sheet per file (like if the unique box was ticked).

can this be done?

thanks

Chris

Chris,

yes, it can be done. But TestStand does not directly supply you with such an option. Therefore you have to adopt the report generation to your needs.

You can find an article on the mechanism of reporting here.

hope this helps,

You can dynamically change the report options. If you only need to do it in a particular file and only once per UUT loop, you can override the report options callback. If you need to do it for every UUT, you'll have to modify the process model or resort to accessing Runstate.Root.Locals.ReportOptions from your sequence. Under report options, there is a field called ForceFileNameToBeUnique, which I'm guessing might be the one you want to set.
