Purpose

This example demonstrates using the Property Loader step type to load data from multiple property loader sources. The example loads properties from GenericLimits to load limits for Voltage and Temperature and loads properties from SpeacializedLimits to override the limits for Voltage.

How to Use This Example

Complete the following steps to review the sequence functionality.

  1. On the Steps pane, select the Property Loader step in the Setup step group.
  2. On the Step Settings tab in the Step Settings pane, observe that two source locations are specified in the source table. This indicates that properties will be loaded from multiple sources, in this case two text files.
  3. Navigate to the <TestStand Public>\Examples\Built-In Step Types\Property Loader Step Type directory and review the GenericLimits.txt and SpecializedLimits.txt files. Observe that both files have properties defined for the voltage test. In this case, the file specified last in the source table will take precedence.

Complete the following steps to run this example.

  1. Select Execute»Single Pass to run the sequence.
  2. When execution completes, review the report on the Report pane. Ensure that the limits were changed based on the property loader step configuration.
