If-Then Expression question

Solved!
Go to solution

I have a need to branch on a parameter pulled out of a larger VI...

Given the following partial list of VI call parameters

...

+ Error In
Pass/Fail?
Report Text
- HB Actual
   WBL Zone B PL   Number(U8)   Out   (Checked)
   WBL Zone A PL   Number(U8)   Out   (Checked)
...

I tried 

Step.Result.HB Actual.WBL Zone B PL >0

as my conditional expression... 

Got Report

Unexpected token Actual:

Tried Step.Result."HB Actual"."WBL Zone B PL" >0

That just moved the error to the . after Result..... sigh...

 

Help?

Hi Pat,

It seems as if you are trying to reference the VI parameter names in the TestStand Step.Results, is this correct? I wouldn't have expected to see these in Step.Results unless you had created a custom step type.

What have you entered in the values field for these VI parameters?

No problem - that was going to be my next suggestion, but I wanted to make sure I understood what you were doing!
