Publish string to TestStand

[jonghkim]

Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to publish string result into semiconductor multi test step?

or, do i need to create a dedicated step to publish a string result?

by the way, it's multi-site test configuration using Batch model.

The existing Numeric multi test step that i have publishes multiple parameters within it and it publishes a current time to date and time.

what i want to do is publishing date into string format. appreciated any advice.

Hi jonghkim,

 It's possible to publish data in string. You can use (Advanced API)

However, It depend how you deal with data later. It will export data to other place and wait for your next step.

For example, if you have two site and each has different data. It will export Local.String. 

So you can retrieve those data to do what you want later. 

By the way, String will not be accepted for most of report like Test Results Log. 

You maybe need to compare string to other string to get True/False result or change it to number to the report.

Thanks

Ricky
