Adding batch serial number to report file name in sequential model

Question

Hi,
I'm using a Sequential model in TS 4.0 and have learned how to add the UUT serial number to the report file name. But I would like to add the batch serial number instead. Is this possible? Any modifications to the ReportOptions callback seem to only modify the temp report name.
Thanks!
Chris

Hi Chris,
While Paul's suggestion may be useful in this case, if you would like the flexibility of customizing your Report File Pathnames further, you may want to consider upgrading to TestStand 4.2.
In TestStand 4.2 we introduced predefined macros and the ability to use custom expressions to specify the Report File Pathname. For example, the <Batch> macro will add the Batch Serial Number to the Report File Pathname as you specify it.
Please see the Using Expressions to Customize Report File Paths section of the TestStand 4.2 Reference Manual for more information on these new reporting features and how one might use them. For a specific explanation of the different macros and what they might be used for, please see the Specifying Report File Paths by Expression section of the TestStand 4.2 Online Help.
