The STDF Log result processing plug-in automatically logs data to the STDF log file about the tester configuration and test execution. You can customize tester, part, wafer, and text data to log in the STDF log file.

Type of Data Description
Tester The Master Information Record (MIR), Site Description Record (SDR), and Wafer Configuration Record (WCR) in the STDF log file store information about the configuration of the tester itself. TSM automatically logs data from the NI_SemiconductorModule_StandardLotSettings and NI_SemiconductorModule_StandardStationSettings data types to these records. You can customize the data stored in the STDF log records by using callbacks to modify the data in the containers within TestStand.
TSM stores the following values in the MIR in addition to values TSM obtains from the NI_SemiconductorModule_LotSettings and NI_SemiconductorModule_StationSettings data types:
MIR Field NameValue
EXEC_TYPENI STS Software
Note You can customize this field.
EXEC_VERIf STS Software is installed: <STS Software Version>

Otherwise: <TSM year-based version (<TSM full version>)>

For example, 2016 (16.0.0.49152).
Part The Part Results Record (PRR) in the STDF log file stores information about each tested part, including the Part ID, X and Y coordinates of the location of the part on the die, and a text description for the part. You can customize the data TSM logs from the UUT container to these fields within the PRR record.
Wafer The Wafer Information Record (WIR) and Wafer Result Record (WRR) in the STDF log file store information related to wafer tests. If you are performing wafer testing, you can customize the data stored in these records by modifying the value of the WaferRuntimeData parameter in the StartOfTest handler/prober driver entry point.
Text If the data you want to add to the STDF log file is not included in any of the above records, you can include text data as a Datalog Text Record (DTR) in the STDF log file by using the following techniques:
  • Adding Text Data for a Part Using Additional Results—You can use the Additional Results panel of the Step Settings pane to add a DTR record after all the part test records associated with the step. To configure the Additional Results panel to generate a DTR record, set the Name option of the result to NI.STDF.DTR and set the Value to Log option to the value you want to store in the DTR record. You can create multiple results with the name NI.STDF.DTR, and each result appears in the STDF log file as a separate DTR record.
  • Adding Text Data between Parts—If the text data you want to log is not associated with a specific part, you can insert DTR records between parts using a .NET Action step in a callback sequence or in a custom result processor model plug-in.
