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 |
