Need new result file for each iteration of a loop

Question

I am using TestStand 2010 SP1.  I have a main sequence that essentially does the following:
Initialize the test equipment and set up the test environment [Sequence Call]
Start Loop
Run Tests [Sequence Call]
End Loop
Because testing can continue for hours, the resultant report file is enormous and difficult to evaluate. I need to create a new result file for each loop iteration.  I know that starting a new execution of “Run Tests” will create a result file for each iteration of the loop, but the new execution will not have access to the handles to the test equipment that were made during initialization.  The testing is time critical, therefore initializing the test equipment and setting up the test environment must occur outside of the loop. 
How can I programmatically create a new result file at the beginning of the loop and close the result file at the end of the loop?  I am open to any other suggestions.  Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,
You could modify your process model by making a copy of Test UUTs entry point. Then make the loop that usually tests multiple UUTs into your loop. Take the loop and init out of your sequence. You can init in PreUUTLoop or the other pre loop sequence, and maybe store your references in runstate.root.Locals and pass them to MainSequence. Then you can use Report Options to set it for separate report files.
