Dear all,
I remember years ago I've read an NI page with a detailed procedure for creating Custom Step Types. Additional LV code and .DLLs were provided for download, but now I'm not able to find anything anymore...
The example was about creating a new Extended Numeric Limit Test type.
Could anybody help me?
Thanks in advance!

Giovanni,
This might be the example you were thinking about but it's a bit outdated:
Archived: Creating Custom Step Type to Check Return Values within Custom Margins
A good high level document for this is Best Practices for Custom Step Type Development. We also install several custom step type exapmles in the following directory -
%TestStandPublic%\Examples\Custom Step Types
Hope this helps!

Hi Trent,
In the past I had downloaded the attached PDF document from the NI site. Even if it refers to an older TestStand version it's quite accurate and it would be fine, but I can't find the DLL the example refers to (which was supposed to be linked to the page).
The DLL provided the functions to be executed for the Edit and pre-step Substeps..
