Sequence pass/fail variable for csv report

I need to write a small CSV file with my sequence test results. The way I am considering doing this is to

 

  • save the information I need as the test progresses in local, file, or station global variables
  • make a report string using the values stored in these variables, and
  • write the string to a file via a LabVIEW VI.

Is this a reasonable way to do it? In which variable does the overall UUT pass/fail result get stored?

I recommend against doing it this way.  What you want to do defeats the entire purpose of using TestStand in the first place.

 

If you are using a newer version of TestStand (2012 or newer) I would create a custom plugin to do exactly what you are doing.

 

There is a ton of information out there on plugins.

 

Here is an example on probably what you are trying to do:

Here are some more links that are important:

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052M-01/tsfundamentals/infotopics/process_model_plugin_ar...

 

The advantage of using a plugin is that now all tests can utilize it as opposed to the report generation being specific to a single test.

 

Hope this helps,
