Write UUT serial number in the main sequence

[adcpc]

Hi,

I would like to write the UUT serial number in the main sequence.

I know that I can access this value through RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber. I can write the serial number in this variable and it works as long as the report is not generated on the fly. If I enable on the fly reporting, then my report UUT serial number remains to "NONE".

Is there any way to force the rebuild of the report with the latest variables value ? I've seen that there is something similar for the execution time. During the sequence execution, with on-the-fly reporting enabled, the report indicates "0 seconds" for the execution time. However, when the execution is done, this report field is updated with the real value.

How to do the same for the serial number ?

Thanks,

Alex

Alex,

trying to reproduce your description that timing is updated in the header, but the UUT serial number NOT when filing the report as final version to disk, failed on my machine with TS 2014.

Can you open your report file externally after it has been generated to check what SN is stated there?

What is your report format and what is your TS version?

 i guess you are extracting the serial number by communicating with your UUT i guess... then you want to write it the the variable 

what if you  do it at the beginning of the program with a call back instead of using the main screen where ts asks  you the serial number

@Norbert,

Yes, I can open the xml report after the test but the serial number is also set to "NONE".

I'm using TestStand 2013 f1 and report format is "ATML 5.00".

@buton,

The DUT is not powered on at the beggining of the test sequence so there is no way to read the serial number. I have to first power it on in the setup and then read the serial number.

OK, ATML seems to create the issue. Using XML reports, it works as expected. Is that a workaround for you?

EDIT: Filed CAR 491296 against ATML OTF reporting

I just found the same thing.

Does it work with ATML and TestStand 2014 ?

I will use XML or just disable on-the-fly reporting.

Thanks !

No, it doesn't work in TS 2014, at least not 32bit TS.

So XML would be the easiest workaround as long as the report is getting very long (possible memory bottleneck).

If you look for execution speed and don't have big report files, disabling OTF is the best solution.

I would also like to write serial number from Main sequence to the XML Report. 

The thing is that i cannot access SerialNumber by RunState.Localc.UUT.SerialNumber!

How can I access it?

Use the PreUUT callback sequence to set the UUT serial number.  In my code, I also set the serial number to a file global so I can use it in some of my test limits.
