Station Display

The test station display is the central part of the main window and shows the configured test stations as a rectangle, which contains various information about the individual test stations.

A test station represents the physical location where a device under test (DUT) can be connected to the LTT. The LTT may have more than one test station.

A test station display can have the following appearances:

Stopped test station Status text is "OFF". Runtime values are not displayed.

Running test station Status text und runtime values are updated from TestStand. Runtime gets updated periodically.

Error limit reached Status text is "error limit reached [nnnn]", where [nnnn] is the error number (more info) of the corresponding limit test, whose error limit is reached. A test station stops if a limit test has reached its error limit. Details can be found in history log.

Limit not found Status text is "limit not found". The test station stops if a limit test step cannot find its limit. Details can be found in history log. See troubleshooting for further explanations.

Testplan error Status text is "testplan error". The test station stops if there is an error during TestStand execution (e.g. syntax error). The exact error reason is shown as a tooltip if the mouse pointer is moved over the status text. Further details can be found in history log. See troubleshooting for further explanations.

GUI error The test station stops if there is an error in GUI software. This can be due to a software bug but also due to invalid data sent from TestStand to GUI. The exact error reason is shown as a tooltip if the mouse pointer is moved over the status text. Further details can be found in history log. See troubleshooting for further explanations.
