resultlist and AddExtraResult

Some of our tests (VIs) have significant interaction with test equipment, and perform a large number of measurements, and comparisons to ranges to determine pass/fail.  We do all of this inside the VI's by having them read a config file when they run, they perform the test, use the range info (from the config file) to determine pass/fail, then they report back to TestStand whether the test passed or failed.  The test step is of type Pass/Fail.  For several reasons, we did not use the Multi-Numeric step type.  However, we want to add to the Report Text the ranges and measured vales.  We pass all this data back to TestStand, but currently don't do anything with it.  How can we insert that information into the report?  Do we use AddExtraResult somehow?

If your data is in Teststand (for example a local varable) you can test it and get it in the report by using a test step of the "none" addapter type (not a  LV  type).  Change your adapter to <none> and place the step test type you want.  The in the edit limits window, change the source in the data source to the data you want to test.  The results will be put into the report like your other steps.  Repeat this for any other data you want to test.
