set the NumericFormat property

[Noubissi]

Hi,

I am writing a C# Programm  that is supposed tocreate a Teststand sequence  with some steps. One of the steps is a Numeric Limit Test. Since i want to test several types ( Hex,integer, Real )  i want to customize the Numeric Format (fractional Digits, Field With) for each Test, so that the Step can handle and  display the numbers with the right format.

I tryed to set the Property NumericFormat, but i became the error Expected Number, found Container   .

I hope somedy can help me.

I am using Teststand 3.5.

Hi,

I don't understand wich step is causing the error.

To set the numeric format of a step you should :

• Get the step as a property object.
• Get the "Result.Numeric" property object.
• Set the numeric format as a string (the syntax is identical to the format string that the C printf function accepts).

I use only property objects and a string. I don't use any number or container.
Maybe the data source of your numeric limit step is not a number but a container. But you should have the error even if you don't set the numeric format.

Hi,

You have to make sure you have an property object to the Step.Result.Numeric, or the Step.Limits.Low or Step.Limits.High properties.

If you use say the Step.Limits property you would get the error 'found container' if you try to set the format.

Hope this helps

Hi Bruno,

Could you explain more in details how you achieve these two steps : 

• Get the "Result.Numeric" property object.
• Set the numeric format as a string (the syntax is identical to the format string that the C printf function accepts).

Thanks a lot !
