Different Numeric Format for Measurements and Limits

Status: Already Implemented

Closing this per Charlie's comment. If you have any other suggestions for improvements, feel free to post back. Thanks!

Currently in TestStand, for a Numeric Limit Test, the "Numeric Format" applies to both the measurement and the test limits.  I would like to be able to have different numeric formats for the test limits and the measurement.  For example, I might want my limits to be %.2f (e.g. 1.23-2.34) and my measurement to be %.3f (e.g. 1.345) so that I can demonstrate a certain measurement accuracy.

You can set the Numeric Format separately for the numeric value and the limits by navigating to the step in the variable pane, right-clicking on Step.Result.Numeric and selecting "Numeric Format..." on the context menu.

 

Repeat this for Step.Limits.Low and Step.Limits.High to set the formatting as required.
