How to record action outputs in the report

[ethen99]

Hi,

Could you plesae let me knwo if I can record the return values ( for any action or test) whenever I call a code module?

For example let's say I have this action

Numeric record( A, B)       so  when I call record and pass A and B the LabVIEW code module return me a numeric value. How can I present this value in TestStand report because in the TestStand report I can only see "Done" for that step. 

I would like to record all my return values ( numeric , array or any kind) when I call a LabVIEW code module

Thanks

Hi,

If you don't want to use the "Tests" types and use the Action step type you can do the following:

1. Create a local variable of with the type your VI returns e.g. Numer type for numeric values, String type for string values.

2. Store the output value of your Action VI in the local variable

3. In the post expression of your step, copy the local result to Step.Result.ReportText e.g.

Step.Result.ReportText = Str(Locals.NumericValue)

Step.Result.ReportText = Locals.StringValue

Please look into additional results.(Refer Help).

You can log any variable into the report.

For most adapters, including the LabVIEW adapter, there is a "Log" column with checkboxes next to each parameter. Just check the checkbox next to the parameters you want to show. If you are using a really old verison of TestStand you might not have this feature, but it's been around for at least the past few versions.

Hope this helps.

FYI: The log checkbox dynamically enables the additional result for the parameter. It is a shortcut to having to go to the additional results pane. Just letting you know.
