Can property loader handle both Multiple Numeric Limits test AND Numerical Limits Test?

Hi all,

 

My sequence involves the use of both Mulitple Numeric Limit Test and a Numerical Limit Test. I know how to set up limits for both on property loader - but not at the same time.

 

My property loader for a MNLT looks like:

<Step Name>   Result.Measurement[0].Comp    Result.Measurement[0].Low    Result.Measurement[0].High    Resut.Measurement[1].Comp    etc...

      name                      "GTLT"                                                     x                                                           y                                               "GTLT"

 

I tried many ways to try implementing numerical limits test (a SINGLE one) to a property loader that already works for a MNLT. I tried adding "Comp" and "Limits.Low/High" columns to the beginning and end of the "<Step Name>" row,  also tried creating another "<Step Name>" below an existing "<Step Name>" and adding the "Comp" and "Limits.Low/High" columns, all of which did not work for me.

 

Is doing this possible? Or must I have to conform to one type of Numerical Limits tests in property loader? 

 

I already had the idea of making all the data sources for these limits tests as arrays of size one, but thats getting out of hand.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi iamji,

 

What behavior do you see when you try this? Do you get any error messages?

When I try this in my property loader

<Step Name>    Result.Measurement[0].Comp    Result.Measurement[0].Limits.Low    Result.Measurement[0].Limits.High    Comp    Limits.Low    Limits.High

        test1                           GTLT                                                         1                                                                       4                

        test2                                                                                                                                                                                                                 GTLT               3                  5

 

<StationGlobals>                     Variable Value

CurrentTestName                           name

FailTarget                                         DM00

PassTarget                                           -

 

test1 is a multiple numeric limits test and test2 is a regular numerical limits test. The error I get is:

 

"Property loader step failed to import or export properties. 9 property values were found. 3 values were imported from the 7 rows of data"

 

With error code -18; User-defined error code.

 

 

Also tried making an addition <Step Name> below with test2's properties with test1's properties, but I get the same errror except it finds 8 rows of data.

 

Is there a way to seperate these two data types in property loader? I tried tinkering with the "edit property loader" window and thought that unchecking the "First Row of Data Specifies Step Property for Each Column" would help by specifying which steps will map to what property, but I wasn't sure if thats how it worked.

Hi iamji,

 

I tried in TS 2014 and I am unable to reproduce the error you are getting. Can you attach the sequence file and the property loader file?
