How can I determine UUT Pass using LabView Test Execute 5.1?

[Al_S]

I'm using Labview Test Executive 5.1 (mass compiled for LabView 6.1). How can I check if my UUT is passing while the test sequence is executing?
I see for the report generation, Format Test Report.vi and Format UUT Report.vi read temp\uutrtemp.dat, but that file doesn't exist at the point I need to check Pass/Fail. Those VIs use a bunch of undocumented stack (?) functions which make them hard to read, but they start by reading a file that apparently gets created after the sequence is complete. I can't find the VI that creates uutrtemp.dat because most of the Test Executive VIs' diagrams are password protected.

Isn't there a simple function that returns Pass/Fail?

Thanks,

Al

Al,

Being very experienced (and very done) with the Test Executive, I am having trouble either understanding your question, or remembering the software enough to understand your question.

As for your overall question, the test executive will display (I used a customized version, but it still displayed the results) the results of each test script after it is executed. There is no way to know the overall results until the entire test is complete. Your question doesn't really clarify what you want to know. I have to assume that you want to know the results of each test after it is done. This is a default behavior, but is obviously not going to work right (as I believe you want it to) if you don't separate your tests into individual scripts.

If this h
asn't answered your question, please restate it as specifically as possible. Keep in mind that no one can see your program, screen, or know how you used the Text Executive to build your test.

To clarify my problem:
I have 10 steps in my sequence.
During the execution of the VI for step 8, I need to know if all previous steps (1 thru 7) passed.
How can I check UUT Pass (so far) while the sequence is still running?

Thanks,
Al
