[TestStand] Simple_Text_Report_LabView customization shows <MISSING> in ReportColumns

[dqn_flex]

Hi,

I'm new to TestStand and have been trying to create my own report generator to get the .csv format with delimited columns I want. I found from the forum some good leads to create what I need.

I was able to generate the report, specify the DisplayName and Key for each columns by modifying the ModelPlugin-Initialize in Simple_Text_Report_LabView.seq. Here are a few questions I have and thanks in advance if somebody can help me.

1. I was able to specify what goes into the report columns by using Additional Results for each test step in my test sequence. For example, TestNumber, Test Limits, Measurements etc...It's a pain to input for each test but they do work.However, for other test step which don't have the limits. It would show up as <MISSING> in the final report. Is there a way for me to get rid of this to make my report looks clean?

2. The report won't show UUT pass or fail until the end at the Create Footer callbacks. Is there a way for me to have UUT Status of test PASS/FAIL on the header instead?

Thank you!

Hi dqn_flex,

I was able to pull up some resources that seem to discuss what you are trying to accomplish. 

1. You could create an exception such as the solution in this forum post that replaces Skipped with Missing. 

2. And this Best Practices for NI TestStand Report Generation  has some information on how to log additional UUT data to the report header. 

I hope these help!

Thanks,

ShaneK
