Enum Step Type Test

Status: New

Now TestStand 2016 supports enums, I found myself in need of an Enum Step Type to check the value of a Enum.

I have VI that returns the UUT's current status as an enum. E.g. Booted OK, Bootloader, Timeout or Error. 

In this case I want to check the UUT has got to the Bootloader...  

I intially worked around using numeric limit test with Datasource set to  "Val( Enum("Boot_State","Bootloader"))". But then in results it would be nicer to see "error" than the enum constant. 

Then I relaised I could use the String test instead.... which is better. Example attached, casting to Str instead of Val.....
