how to document step description field content ?

[Petri]

My problem is that I need to documentate all the steps to a file where a CVI action (function call) to a certain instrument driver DLL is made.

The step description field includes that information I need. But I have tried to find out a way how to document step description content to a file without finding such a function in TS 4.1.1.

Does TS support step description documentation/export/find tool or do I have to use an external software ? What would be a good program ?

My sequence file format is INI (ascii text file).

regards,

Hi

There is a documentation tool find under the Tools menu in the SeqEditor. Hopefully this will suit your needs

thanks for quick reply. the documention tool doesn't really help me because it exports the step description field in that way that it is very difficult to import it to e.g. excel or any other text processing tool.

I want to send a list of step description fields to a instrument driver developers.

Hi,

The code is available for that document tool, so maybe you could modify it or create your own tool to suit your needs

Hi Ray,

thanks for quick reply. I wished there was already an implemenation available 😉 probably I have to modify the source.

Hi,

it was quite easy to modify the documentation sequences for text format to get the file content suitable for import in excel for resorting.
