Property Loader step to load all limits in all sequences in a Seq File

[ltok]

Hi,

I have a Seq file. There are many sequences in this file. I can export all the limits in all the sequences in this file to an Excel file.

My question is how do I import all the limits in all the sequences in this file using Property Loader step. I have attached a sample seq file below (TS3.5 version). Please show me an example to do that (Either *.seq or screenshots are appreciated.)

From the link below, it shows that to import limits into each sequence, there must be a Property Loader step in each sequence to load the limits for that specific sequence. But this is troublesome and not efficient as the same step is executed repeatedly.

Hope to hear from anyone soon.

Hi,

You should be able to select ALL Sequence File from the PropertyLoader dialog panel.

Following the help instructions for the Property Loader as it states....

Use Current Sequence File—Selects the file where the step is located.

Sequence—Specifies the name of the sequence into which to import variables and properties. The specified sequence must exist in the specified sequence file. Select the <ALL SEQUENCES> tag from the drop-down list to instruct TestStand to import variables and properties for all of the sequences in the specified sequence file. You must specify a valid sequence name for the step to work properly.

Hope this helps

Hi Famer,

What you are referring is using Property Loader dialog panel. But I want to do it using Property Loader step type. I do not want to do it manually in the dialog panel. I want to do it programmatically using Property Loader step type.

Hope this clarify my question.

Thank you & Regards

Hi,

The Dialog Panel I was referring about is the Edit Property Loader (see attached). Generally, you use this after you have inserted a PropertyLoader Step Type into the sequence to setup the PropertyLoader step statically. General you would set most of the properties statically and then change one or two of the properties programmatically. Unless ofcourse you are generating the whole sequencefile programmatically.

The Properties you would need to setup would be Step.Sequence = "<All Sequences>" but also you would need to set Step.UseCurrentSequenceFile = True.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Ray,

My computer was down for a few days. Now then I am able to try out with your solution.

Thank you so much. I missed that out. It works.

Once again, thank you so much.
