Operator Verification

[lwong27]

I have several steps in a test sequence that require operator visual verification that a test passed.  What is the best way to implement a user acknowledgement that an individual step passed before proceeding to the next step?

One way is to make a code module, say in LabVIEW, that is a dialog box and the operator chooses pass or fail.  This VI would return a boolean and is called in TestStand as a "Pass/Fail Test" with that boolean set to Step.Result.PassFail

Another way would be to make a "Message Popup" step.  In "Text and Buttons", make Button 1 say "Pass" and Button 2 say Fail.  Then, in the Post Expression, add "Step.Result.Status = (Step.Result.ButtonHit==1 ? "Passed" : "Failed")
