Exporting Test Limits from Sequence Files

Select ECU Toolkit » Export Test Limits from <filename> to export test limits from all test steps in a sequence file to a new or existing tab-delimited test limits text file at edit time. Selecting an existing file overwrites the content of the file.

When you export test limits, the text file includes the following test data for every sequence in the sequence file:

  • Sequence name, Step name, UniqueStepId, Test name— Always included.
  • Test number— If a step does not contain any tests, this field displays No Tests.
    Note Use the ECU Action step instead of the ECU Multi Test step if the step does not contain any tests.
  • Pin or pin group—The ECU Software Toolkit does not export the test data associated with the generated tests for the pins in the pin group.
  • Low limit expression, High limit expression—For Pass/Fail tests, these fields are blank.
  • Scaling factor—Included only when non-empty scaling factors exist for any test in the sequence file and scaling factors are the same within each test. The Units Prefix column of the Supported Scaling factors table lists values for exported scaling factors.
  • Low limit scaling factor, High limit scaling factor, Data limit scaling factor—Included only when non-empty for any test in the sequence file and the data and limits scaling factors differ in at least one test in the sequence file. The Units Prefix column of the Supported Scaling factors table lists values for exported scaling factors.
  • Evaluation comparison mode—Included only when at least one step contains non-default value. For Pass/Fail tests, this field is blank.
  • Base units—For Pass/Fail tests, this field is blank.
  • Evaluation type— Always included.
  • Test name expression, Test number expression, Published data ID, Test data source expression, Export data to expression—Included only when non-empty values exist for any tests in the sequence file.
  • Test numeric display format—Included only when non-default test numeric display formats exist for any tests in the sequence file.

The file does not contain test data for external sequence files referenced in the sequence file from which you export the test limits.

Note
  • For ECU Multi Test steps in the sequence that have no tests, the file contains a row with the step information and the value No Tests for the Test Name. All other columns are blank. Use the ECU Action step instead of the ECU Multi Test step if the step does not contain any tests.
  • If a field name begins with a mathematical sign, Microsoft Excel might interpret the contents of the cell as a formula and return an error for the cell. To work around this issue, format the cell in Excel as text data.
  • In some cases when a limit has a large number of digits, Microsoft Excel might truncate the decimal portion of the number. To work around this issue, format the columns that contain the limit numbers in Excel as text data.
