something Kekin proposed with the digital signature made me think, that it'd be nice if there was a  means to suppliment/append to header/footer of reports in general without having to do it with raw statement steps...  (and if this already exists I apologize for not checking first).

 

I think it'd be neat if there was an approach similar to the 'Additional Results' logic per step that's available.  In the 'ModifyReportHeader' callback, or in the report options somewhere, a user would be able to supply the data within a certain list of available options/allowable types, and the report generator/DLL would handle the formatting/whitespace such that it works for txt/html/xml headers without the user having to do the formatting themselves.  From my experience, most items added to headers consist of (1) supplimental string data, (2) supplimental numeric data (3) small images/logos(in the case of txt, maybe the alt text can be used, or just the path put into the file...?)

even if the new info was just tucked into the list/table before the failure chain block, it would be a nice time-saver for users who want a generic report but just have one more UUT detail that needs to show up in the header.

 

 

It would be nice to have the same debug feature like in Visual Studio

There is a possibility to run/execute to cursor's position.   

At the monent there is only "set next step to cursor" but this is not compareable with this feature.

Well, I know could set another breakpoint and resume to it. But most times i will forget to delete it....

So why not this stuff ?

We use VIPM to manage our reuse in LabVIEW, and it works wonderfully, but there's nothing for TestStand.  I'd like to be able to create and distribute packages with like functions, roll-back/forward project-based configurations, etc, within the TestStand development environment.  I know that a lot of stuff can be done manually, but it's monolithic - I need something that's modular.

I'd like to be able to specify the username, password, and local & remote paths by expression:

It would be nice to beable to define a variable as constant.This could apply to Locals, FileGlobals, StationGlobals.

 

Once set mark it so as to be easily identifible as a Const.

 

The API would also need to include either a Property or Method so that one could determine if a variable is a Constant.

When you set the Post Action On Pass | On Fail in a step to use Call sequence, the only ways to pass data to this sequence is either use some sort of Global (StationGlobals / FileGlobals) or use Locals with the setting "Propagate to SubSequence".

 

There should be a cleaner way and that is to beable to pass parameters as you do with SequenceCall step type.

I would like to see Shared or Separate FileGlobals available to all Types of Sequence File not just limited to Batch or Parallel Process Models.

Wouldn't be nice to beable to define one's own set of Expression Functions. This seems to be the one area of TestStand that cannot be customised. eg. Locals.name = NameOf(Step), Locals.IsValid = DoSomethingNotDefinedByDefaultFunction(Locals.name),.....(carry on with expression) Regards Ray Farmer
