Generating NI VMS Reports in TestStand

Generating NI VMS Reports in TestStand

To generate a report in TestStand for NI VMS tests, configure the test sequence, then configure the format of the report, then configure what results to include in the report.

1. Configure the NI VMS Test Sequence

Configure the NI VMS test sequence using the instructions in Getting Started with NI VMS.

2. Configure the Format of the Report

To configure the format of the report, complete the following steps:

1. Select Configure»Report Options to launch the Report Options dialog box.
2. In the Report Options dialog box, select the following options in the Contents tab:
   
   1. Select the Include Step Results and Include Measurements checkboxes.
   2. Select Insert Graph or Insert Table in the Include Arrays list.
   3. Select HTML Document or XML Document in the Report Format list.

      Note  NI recommends selecting XML Document and horizontal.xsl, because NI VMS reports are generally short. In other words, there is no reason to make a special reporting template or use NI TestStand ModifyReportEntry callbacks in order to get the measurement results in a report.

   4. Select any other report features you want to include.
3. Click OK.

3. Select the Results to Include in the Report

For information about selecting the results to include in the report, refer to Specifying Testing Limits in TestStand.
