How can I access to the limits of a numeric limit test with TestStand API?

[Ragnaroknight]

I need to acces and save all the limits of a teststand sequence and save it to a log file, I export the documentation to a text file but doesn't import the limits just the name and description.

I read that I can access to them with the TestStand API, but there's an infinite number of propertys on the sequence context in property node and I don't find the correct one to save the limits. Can it be done with the API?

There's actually a built-in way to export limits:

• Tools » Import Export Properties
• Choose Export in the tree
• Fill in a Destination Location
• On the Property Selector tab, click the filters icon
• Choose Limit Properties
• Check the steps/limits you care about and hit Export.

If you still want to go the API route, you need to get a reference to the Step object, and there is a limits container under that.

Hope this helps!

I want to perform it in a automatic way, so there's not an object reference that point to the step limits in the API.

It sounds like you're looking for the Step.Limits Container i mentioned:

Getting a reference to all of the steps is the trickier part. This example should help:
