numeric limits / property loader / import-export properties

[newnew]

I can use the basic function of the import/export tool and can make the property loader work. I have not yet been able to figure out how to export/import etc multiple limits in a sequence. TS 3.1

I have a sequence with several steps and I am doing a basic limit test in most of the steps. Then there are subsequences with their own limit tests, single and multiple limit numeric test. There are also local and global vars etc.

How do I export all the limit test variables in the sequence and sub-sequence? How do I distinguish between them (since they all are step.limits.low and step.limits.high, step name maybe??)

Then how do I import them with the proerty loader so each step can get the correct limits?

Thank You.

Hi newnew,

Each sequence file must be exported separately.  However, if the subsequences are in the same sequence file as the original, then you can export all of the properties of the subsequences.

In the Import/Export Property tool, go to the Properties tab and select <All Sequences> from the Sequence pull-down menu.  Then, select all the properties by clicking >> in the Properties box.  TestStand will distinguish the properties for you.

For importing, check the box for Import All Properties from Data Location under the Properties tab, and click Import.

With the Tool "Import/Export Properties" i exported a csv-file from a test-sequence which has one subsequence. I exported only the Limits (High/Low).
With the same tool its possible to import this file back to teststand.
My question ist now: How can i use the property-loader to import the csv-file? This is not working with the subsequence an creates an error -18 .
Whats going wrong here?

Thanks for your help.

Hi NewOne,

Did you open the csv file in Excel?  Try importing the csv in a brand new sequence file and see if you get the same error.  Does the error give any other information?  I do not see any reference to error 18 here.  Was the subsequence in the same sequence file?
