I don't understand your "Edit limits".

Where do you find this?

[Tumbler]

If you use an Numeric Limit Test in Test Stand. Then you can set with the options by right click edit limits.

In this edit limits menu you have a button numeric format. An here you can change the Typ in Hex, decimal and real.

How can i change this options for this step from labview?

Hi Tumbler,

generally I would say that is is possible to access the numeric format type, but it would be difficult to find look up string.

May I ask what makes you need this? Normally you would receive your Data Type from a VI and via preconditions you can choose what limit test is the the right one for your result.

Hello Stefan,

i would like to do this because we have create a config vi. And the people for this we made this step don't want to change in Edit Limits and the configuration for the device in the config step.

Thats why we want to do this from this vi.

Hi Tumbler,

Within the TestStand Sequence Editor for a step which has limits, then on the Edit Limits dialog should be a control which will allow you to change the format which is set to <default>. I think you might have to click on another button which will bring up another dialog which will allow you to change the format. ( I haven't got testStand to hand at the moment, so I am working from memory).

Hope this helps
