How to share one action to multiple UUT test?

[William1225]

Hi,

In fact, I don't know how to define the topic exactly.

My request is like the following :

For example, I have a signal generator and four UUTs.

Signal Pattern 1 ON -> batch(4 UUT test...) -> Signal Pattern 1 OFF, Signal Pattern 2 ON -> Batch(4 UUT test...) ...so on...

I got stuck how to put the action into the teststand and do once instead of 4 times.

Something similar to the callback of  ProcessSetup, PreBatch, and PreUUTLoop,

but I wonder if there is a way to call an action once within multiple UUTs in the MainSequence.

Could someone give me some suggestion? Thanks a lot!

Hey William,

You're probably going to want to use the "One Thread Only" option of a batch synchronization section to do this. It sounds like you're already using the Batch process model, so this should be fairly easy to implement. If it's a single step, you can go to the Synchronization tab of the step settings and change the Batch Synchronization setting. If it's multiple steps in a row, you could use the Enter Synchronized Section and Exit Synchronized Section modes of the Batch Synchronization step type.

Also, we have an example that demonstrates this functionality. You can find it at <TestStand>\Examples\MultiUUT\BatchUUT.seq. If you look at the Set Chamber Temperature step, you will see that it is configured in this way.

Exactly!, thanks a lot!
