Is there an easy way to turn off numeric limit checking?

[testdesign]

I am in the development phase of a test sequence and the limits for  my tests which are numeric limit tests are not fully locked down.  Is there a way I can disable limit checking so that I can run multiple sequence runs to collect data to use for actually locking down the limits?  Thanks!

There are multiple options

1. Set comparison type to "no comparison"
2. Disable "Step Failure causes Sequence Failure"
3. Modify DataSource to a static value inside of the limits
4. Modify limits to be very 'open'. You can also use computation (Expression!) based on your measurement value
5. Include a SequenceFilePostStepFailure callback and filter for numeric limit steps. Reset states accordingly in that case

Options 1-4 require the numeric limit step itself to be modified. If multiple steps are affected, a tool using the TS API might help to ease the overhead. Esp. the overhead required to turn settings back...

Rethinking the request, i recommend you to do the following:

Use a property loader.

Export your current settings to a file using import/export tool. Create a copy (simply for 'security' reasons) and then modify the file by replacing the comparison type of all numeric limit steps by "LOG" (no comparison).

Import the modified limit file and run the sequence. Unless you save the modified sequence, you don't need to revert anything. If you want to save the file, you should revert the comparison type settings by importing the default configuration using the backup file.
