Skip socket in parallel mode

[Tonnie]

Hello

I have a testchamber were  4 product are tested for 8 hours. I want to use Teststand 2014  (and C#) in parallel mode. I want to skip sockets that are failing during these 8 hours. Lets assume that after 2.5 hours socket 3 fails, then i want to skip that particular socket and continue with the rest of the socket. How can i do that

p.s.

I saw some post about this topic but couldn't find a good answer

Hello Tonnie,

First of all, I think the Batch Model would better fit your needs. You will not open the test chamber during the whole test, so your 4 UUT are linked in a "batch". Parallel model addresses independant test sockets. I mean, a test socket could test 4 UUTs while another could only test one, and a third one none (for instance).

Then, using the batch model, the test system will wait all test sockets are finished to start another batch. I guess you write your test sequence to go to Cleanup if a test fail. If it occurs on test a socket, it will wait the end of others test sockets. So there is nothing particular do to to handle it.

Hope this helps,
