property loader max

TestStand v 2.0.1f1

There seems to be limit to the number of properties that can be loader for a single step using the property loader.  I'm using an Excel sheet to identify my properties and I've been told before but no one could tell me the number of properties that can and can't be loaded.  It's my understanding after the threshold is met the remaining properties are disregarded.  If anyone knows please let me know.  Thanks.

Hi Grasshopper,

This threshold does not seem to be documented anywhere, and I've never seen properties disregarded when using the Property Loader.  What has been your experience?  Can you give a ballpark number of properties where you start seeing properties disregarded?

It tends to be if you need more than 23-25 columns worth of data from the excel sheet.

I'm not sure if TestStand would disregard properties that it exported. I'm using TestStand 4.1 and i have succefully loaded as much as 150 properties.

Does TestStand give any error while running the propertyloader step ?

No error, the values just aren't loaded.  This has been "fixed" by having multiple loader steps with different ranges.  I.e. loader step 1 loads comp, high, and low for 15 limits specified as 0-14, loader step 2 loads comp, high, and low for 15 limits specified as 15-29, etc.
