Scenario

Consider a test system in which the report generation functionality must meet the following criteria:

  • Maximize test system throughput
  • Generate and display a summary report immediately after testing the unit under test (UUT)
  • Generate a detailed report a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) can post-process

Solution

Create one results processing configuration to generate a high-level summary report and different configurations for more detailed reports.

Detailed Solution

For the summary report, create a result processing configuration that specifies the following options in the Report Options dialog box:

Report Option Value
Format ASCII
Asynchronous False
On-the-Fly Report False
Only Display Latest Results False

For a more detailed report, create a result processing configuration that specifies the following options in the Report Options dialog box:

Report Option Value
Format ATML
Asynchronous True
On-the-Fly Report False
Only Display Latest Results False

In some cases, the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) might not post-process the detailed report at the time the MES tests the UUT but instead at a later time or on a different computer. In this case, create a result processing configuration that specifies the following options in the Report Options dialog box so you can generate a TSR file and post-process results using the TestStand Offline Result Processing Utility, which can generate an ATML report the MES can post-process:

Report Option Value
Format TSR
Asynchronous True
On-the-Fly Report False
Only Display Latest Results False
