multiple numeric limit test, are individual pass/fail results available?

[Dillon_G]

I want to communicate pass/fail status to my custom UI so that I can color components red/green as they pass and fail.  I plan to send the pass/fail status along with an ID, corresponding to the component, using UIMessaging.  The UImessage is sent from the sequencePostStep callback.

Sending the individual pass/fail status is pretty straight forward(step.result.status) for all of the steps except multiple numeric limit test.  Is there a way to get the individual pass/fail information for each item in a multiple numeric limit test?  The individual information is available in the report.  Could it be pulled from the ReportText[]?

Hi Dillon,

You can get the results from a multiple limit test using Step.Result.Measurement["Measurement 0"].Status, which will give the result of each single measurement.  You could assign the results of 4 comparisons using something like this:

Locals.multstring[0]=Step.Result.Measurement[0].Status,
Locals.multstring[1]=Step.Result.Measurement[1].Status,
Locals.multstring[2]=Step.Result.Measurement[2].Status,
Locals.multstring[3]=Step.Result.Measurement[3].Status

If the string is too large for this to be practical, you could iterate it using a for loop.  Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks for the reply.  I saw the step.result.measurement property earlier and was assuming it was only the measurement and not the limits and status as well.

Can we iterate a for loop inside of an expression?

Hello Daniel,

I am a little confused on what you are trying to do. Are you trying to use a statement step with an expression as a for loop? If so this is not possible to do. Your best bet would to just use the For loop step type in TestStand and then you can place a Statement step in there. You can also use the Statement step to increment your Loop variable that is keeping track of your loop count. Have a great day!
