Translating an Action Element with a customType Attribute

When you specify the customType attribute for an <Action> element, the ATML TD translator creates a custom step type for the translated action using the type that the value of the customType attribute specifies.

If the value of the customType attribute specifies a step type with a default adapter that requires code modules, the translator does not create code modules for the step.

If the value of the customType attribute specifies a step type that does not specify a default adapter, the translator creates code modules step. The translator specifies parameter expressions for the code modules parameters if the name attributes in the parameters match the name attribute of the <Parameter>, <TestResult>, or <SessionDatum> element. If the created step defines a limit structure similar to the default TestStand Numeric Limit Test and Multiple Numeric Limit Test steps, the limit properties update with the values the TD instance document defines.
Note The translator does not change run options and post actions for the step if the created step type specifies its own run options and post actions.
