Additional Results not present in Properties in TestStand 4.0

Hi,
I wish to use a multimeter to record current values in my TestStand 4.0
test sequence. I was using TestStand 4.1 and the results were recording
fine to my report. I had checked the Additional Results option, but this
option is not present in 4.0. Where can i find this option to record the
value into my report?
I had been using TestStand 4.1 but have had to go back to TestStand 4.0
because some modules i wish to use are not supported in TestStand 4.1 yet.
Thanks

If you use numeric limit steps to evaluate the measured value, the result will be part of the report except you deselected "include measurements" in the report options.
This is anyways the recommended way to include measurement values in your report.
You can add additional results by using the "ReportText" variable in the Step.Result-Container. Just use a postexpression to convert your measurement value to a string and set this to the ReportText (something like: "Result.ReportText = str(locals.mymeasurement)").
hope this helps,

  • Additional Results Condition Not Working Correctly For Parameters

    TestStand 2014
    Trying to log a parameter only if the step status is "Failed" won't log the parameter when the step actually fails.  However, variables with the same condition will log just fine.
    The attached sequence demonstrates this.  Basically I have a subsequence that returns a random number and a string as parameters.  I use the random number to evaluate against my limits for the test call.  I want to log the string parameter only if the step fails.  So I set it as an additional result and set the condition to
    Step.Result.Status == "Failed"
    The data never shows on the report.
    But when I put an explicit additional result with the same local variable and put the exact same condition it shows on the report when the step fails.
    I'm baffled as to why parameters won't log with this condition but explicit additional results work just fine with the same condition.
    Any thoughts?

    The condition for the parameter's additional result is evaluted before the sequence call's status is set to failed. The 'out' parameter additional results are probably being evaluated right after the code module call, so if the the step's status isn't changed by the code module call, then it will still be "Running".
    I can see how it would be nice if it worked the way you are asking, but keep in mind for in/out parameters it's typically the same expression/variable in both the 'in' and 'out' additional result, so the time at which the result is logged is important. It has to be done before the code module call for 'in' parameters and after the code module call for 'out' parameters in order to accurately reflect the state of the variables at those points in time. I think the intent is that the additional result for parameters should reflect the state of the variables at the point in time immediately right before the call for 'in' parameters and immediately after the call for 'out' parameters. Thus if you want to conditionally log a value based on the status (where the status is not changed directly by the code module), then using a regular additional result like you discovered is probably the best way to go.
    Perhaps for out parameters we could delay logging until the very end, but that might result in a change in behavior if the variable state changes again before that. If you would like for us to consider that or have another idea for how to handle this better please let us know or perhaps post something to the Idea Exchange.
    Another possibility is that we could temporarily log the results before and after the code module call, but then not evaluate the condition until the very end and throw out the logged result if the condition is false. That might still cause a change in behavior though if the "Value to Log" expressions have side-effects.
    Hope this helps clarify things.

  • Additional Results Custom Step using Variables in Name and Value to Log expressions?

    I am trying to create a Custom Step Type for logging additional results - requiring a single Name and Value data pair included in the step.
    I want to pass the name and value data in using two specific variables.
    This functionality can of course be explicitly coded on a test step without problem, but I can't find a way to create a custom test step which inserts such a step i.e. automatically inserting the correct variable names into Name and Value to Log fields.
    Any ideas how to accomplish this? I don't want the custom step users to have to type in the variable names every time they use it.
    I am using TestStand 4.1.1
    Message Edited by CIM1 on 04-20-2009 07:26 AM

    Hi CIM1,
    There are a few ways of doing this.
    The simplest one would be to configure the expression in the Pre-Expression or Post-Expression (depending on whether you would like the Step Type to use the value in the variables or write the value to the variables) and then from here you can lock away the expressions from being edited. The caveat with this method is that you are obviously restricing the Pre/Post-Expressions for the step type. 
    Another Method would be to code some code modules to Write to/Read from the Variables and then calling these in the Steps Pre-Step SubStep or Post-Step Substep. The advantages of this method would be that you can search for the Variable, and if the variable is not present, you could create it before writing to it.
    Hope this Helps.

  • Additional results doesn't work with multi-line string dat

    I observed an erratic behavior with "Additional Results" in TestStand 2010. The problem statement is as follows:
    1. I have a variable "Locals.FirstName"
    2. I have another variable "Locals.LastName"
    3. Concatenate these two strings with a line feed or a new line character (Locals.FirstName+"\n"+Locals.LastName) and display it in a XML report. 
    Approach:
    1. Using "Statement Expression" I concatenate two strings and print the result using "Additional Results"
    2. For verification I display it using "Message Popup" step type. The formatting is as desired in "Message Popup". However, the new line characters appear as "Spaces" in XML report.
    Tracing Of this Erratic Behavior:
    1. I passed the concatenated string to LabVIEW VI and passed it to "Step.Result.ReportText" variable to log it in XML report. The same string which didn't appeared properly using “Additional Results"of "Statement Expression” step now appears proper in XML report.
    I have attached the sequence file for reference. Ensure that Report option is set to XML before executing this sequence.
    Can anyone justify this behavior and suggest the correct approach??
    Thanks !

    Hi Dee McClanahan,
    I suggest you should check whether or not the names are spelled correctly in the topology builder.
    If this is not the case, I suggest you can create and publish a new topology.
    To remove the published entry run:
    remove-CsConfigurationStoreLocation
    In addition, I’m a little confused about what you say “Pool consists of Lync Server and SharePoint Server.”
    Do you mean that you installed Lync Server and SharePoint Server on the same box ?

  • Additional Results option ignores \n

    When including Additional results in my test stand sequence file, i save the complete listing of a text file to this option.
    Problem is, in the result file(html) it displayes it without any carriage returns and line feeds...resulting in a very messy display.
    Can this be fixed in some way?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    morngoose -
    The issue is that the text is displayed as is in the HTML file, so since HTML files ignore \n characters and presume them to be just whitespace, the linefeeds do not appear in the display version of the report. We are aware of this side affect and have not yet decided how to address this within TestStand.
    A workaround would be to replace all \n characters or \r\n characters with <br /> by using the SearchAndReplace expression function as shown below. The only issue is that if you wish to log to database or use other report formats (txt), the <br /> will be logged instead of the \n. 
    SearchAndReplace(Locals.VarWithText, "\n", "<br />", 0, True) 
    Hope this helps...

  • How insert additional results from "SequenceFilePostStep" callback on the report

    I'm trying to insert a value processed on "SequenceFilePostStep" callback on the report. But every try I did, using additional results, didn't work well.
    Anyone knows how to include the value processed after every step on the report?
    Thanks

    Please try the following :
    In the "SequenceFilePostStep" copy the processed data to a stationglobal or fileglobal variable.
    In the calling step properties add this variable in the additional result (properties-->additional results).
    I checked with TS 13 it reports properly.
    Since the "SequenceFilePostStep" is an engine callback probably it may not support updating the report .
    Hope this helps.

    When I got to Method 1, Step 3, I tried to enter a Custom Name for the data. The Name I enter always remains red. Even when I have a valid variable in the "Value to Log" Column. When I click on the validation I get an evaluation warning.

  • Printer not present when trying to connect even though drivers have been installed

    printer not present when trying to connect even though drivers have been installed

    Hi Marc,
    If you are having issues with printing from your iMac I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    Mac 101: Printing (Mac OS X v10.6)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3771
    Specifically -
    Troubleshooting steps you can use if there is an issue
    Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
    Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
    Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
    Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system (see below). Then, add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers from here. Then, add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • PPT action buttons are not present in pdf file upon conversion

    Hi
    Am using Office 2003 (SP3) and Acrobat 8 (version 8.1.6).
    Have been using action buttons in the presentations for several years, works fine.
    When converting existing files, action buttons in both PPT show and pdf file just works, no problems.
    Newly generated presentations work fine as PPT show. But when converted to pdf file, the action buttons are simply missing.
    Have verified that all action buttons are "at front", same result.
    Have tried to avoid corporate templates by creating a blank presentation and building a small and simple navigating presentation. Again, works fine as PPT show. And again, upon conversion there are no action buttons present in the pdf file.Corporate changes thereby should be ruled out.
    Have checked all settings (including "Adobe PDF, Change Conversion Settings") between a working and a non-working PPT file, can't identify any differences.
    A colleague helped out (using Acrobat 6), same result. But upon activation of "Adobe PDF, Change Conversion Settings, Restore Defaults", the action buttons worked for him. Tried it with Adobe 8, no such luck.
    Have trialed the "Prep 4 PDF" tool, then the PDF file is complete and the "go to slide" keys appear and work again.
    All new updates available are installed, anyone experienced the same and found a fix for this trouble?

    Have tried both ways, same result.
    When working with new presentations, the pdf file is viewable, but the action buttons are not present.
    When working with past presentations, the action buttons are present and do work as expected.

  • Search results not returning file names correctly

    Have an onsite SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise that contains a number of documents in a document library all containing the word "south" in their title. When a search is run with the keyword "south" all 3 files are shown in the results but only one displays
    the correct title. The other 2 display alternate text (in this case the company name). The links all 3 results are correct, however the title of results is incorrect for 2 out of the 3.
    I have duplicated these results using Office 365 and another on site SharePoint 2010 server.
    I have duplicated these results converting the documents to DOCX format under Word 2007 and Word 2010.
    Obviously, this is an issue with the files, however any ideas where to start looking to uncover where the SharePoint Server is pulling the information from? 
    In the end I need all 3 results to display the current name of the files it finds, not simply some random text with the files from 2 out of 3 of the results.
    Thanks

    Could it be because of this?
    Pasted from here:
    http://bpostutor.com/post/Hidden-SharePoint-2010-Feature-Changes-Document-Titles-in-Search-Results.aspx
    Hidden SharePoint 2010 Feature Changes Document Titles in Search Results
    SharePoint 2010 has a interesting feature which you may not know about.  It's called Optimistic Title.  It's part of the Office Search engine within SharePoint.  What it does is determine a new, hopefully more relevant title for your documents
    to be displayed in your search results based on document properties or the actual contents of the document (i.e. Text within the file).  As you might expect this is closely tied to the Office document formats such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote,
    and Visio.  Your end users may report that the titles that they see for search results differ greatly from the file name or the actual title of the document.  This is particularly evident with PowerPoint files where the name of the first slide
    is often used. The behavior is not entirely predictable.  Different results can be expected from Office 2007 and Office 2010 created files and even those created in earlier versions of Microsoft Office. 
    If you want to change this functionality you need to actually go and edit the registry on your Search role server(s) within your SharePoint farm, restart the osearch14 service and then do a full crawl.  The key you want to modify is the EnableOptimisticTitleOverride.
    The default setting is 1. Change it to 0 to disable the feature.

  • Oracle Exam result not available on Oracle CertView account

    Hello,
    I have given my Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate exam (1z0-147) today i.e. 9th March, 2013. But I have not received my exam result till now and no mail also from Oracle and in my oracle certview account also result for that exam is not present. I have given exam from a authorized PearsonVUE centre. And in my PearsonVUE account my exam status is showing as "Taken".
    Is this because of some server problem or something else. Please help with the same.

    .... I always thing there has to be a higher risk of a delay at the weekends. The information has to get from the Test Center to Pearson VUE Central Systems through to Oracle Certifcation systems. With inevitable reduced staffing at weekends, timezone differences, weekend maintenances there surely has to be a higher risk of a delay at weekends. My opinion only. Hopefully it all sorts itself out by end of play monday PDT.

  • Why there is a SIP settings if VoIP is not present...

    Hello,
    Kindly ask you to explain subject of this post. There is SIP settings on my C5-03 but I can find how to make an internet call ! Moreover nothing about SIP in official attached phone manual.
    There is an advise to install "SIP_VoIP_3_1_Settings_S60_5_x_v1_0_en.sis" which will create additional menu like "Advanced SIP seetings" but it doesn't help in my case. Probably that old plugin just not capable with new C5-03.
    I can see that this is not only my problem. Please try to resolve this issue, it's very stupid to have SIP settings but not able to make internet VoIP call.
    Best regards,
    another department.

    Hello,
    Thank you for quick reply. But seems that you didn't read my post carefully.
    I have already perform SIP settings and made my phone registered with configured SIP profile.
    Problem is that I can't find how to make VoIP call after that.
    In Nokia E63 it was very simple After dialing the number you need just to choose voice, video or Internet call (using created SIP profile) option.
    But seems R&D just forgot to put it in call options.
    Also given link are leading to already installed "SIP VoIP Settings (SIP_VoIP_3_1_Settings_S60_5_x_v1_0_en.sis)".
    However mentioned  "Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Admin.settings > Net settings > Advanced VoIP settings > VoIP services"
    still not present.
    Same was indicated by other users, shown in my previous post.
    I'm sure that somebody from Nokia is present here, guys, just tell how to make VoIP call using already registered and configured SIP profile, so simple.

Maybe you are looking for
