Numeric_limit logging problem in TestStand 2.0.1

[krs.]

hi,

I am trying to log into a ms access database a custom step type.I have made a custom step type wich is in fact a copy of NI NumericLimitTest. The steps are identical but when I use the Generic Recordset (NI) schema to log the results, the copy step's measurement info is not logged into MEAS_NUMERICLIMIT Table.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you,
Krs

Hi,

The problem is that your new step type is not of type NumericLimitTest but has a new name. Unless you have renamed the new step type, then it probably called NumericLimitTest_Copy.

You need to make a duplicate schema of the Generic Recordset (NI) schema. Then copy the Meas_NumericLimit and give this copy the same name as your custom step type.

Then in your configuration database options you will need to select your new schema.

Hope this helps

Perhaps I was not clear enough, or perhaps I am missing something,

What I am trying to do is: Derive 2 ore more step types from NI NumericLimit steps, and add some extra private info for each step type. Now the steps of this types will be logged in different tables, but for the measurement information, I want it to be stored for all steps in Meas_NumericLimit Table. (Like it is done for multi_numericlimit steps)

The problem is that I see no clear way to do this. Right now if I inherit 10 steps from Numeric_Limit test, I have to keep the measure information toghether with the other info.

The nice way to do it will be, to store the measurement info (which is the same for all steps) in one table. This would be posible i Think, if in the NI definiton of numeric
limit step type, somehow the NI_LimitMeasurement was included.

So if anyone can guide me out of this...
