Edit String Value Dialog Box

Select Edit Expected String in the context menu for the step or click Edit Expected String on the General tab of the Step Properties dialog box to launch the Edit String Value dialog box from a TestStand User Interface .

Use this dialog box to specify the type of comparison and limits TestStand uses to set the step status and the string the step expects to receive.

The Edit String Value dialog box contains the following tabs:

  • Limits —The string comparison the step performs.
  • Data Source —The data source for the string value the step compares.
Note When you paste values into the Expression Edit control, the control removes any \r and \n characters. National Instruments recommends that you use escape codes in the expression string to ensure that \r and \n characters are specified properly for a comparison.
