Setting a Breakpoint in TestStand
Setting a Breakpoint in TestStand
In this video, we will learn how we can set a breakpoint in a sequence file. We will learn how to rename a sequence file; how to select Break on the First Step, from the execute menu, to suspend execution on the first step TestStand executes (a checkmark appears to the left of the menu option to indicate that we enabled this option). Steps in the Cleanup step group execute regardless of whether the sequence completes successfully or whether a run-time error occurs in the sequence. If a step in the Setup or Main step group causes a run-time error to occur or if the operator terminates the execution, the flow of execution stops and jumps to the Cleanup step group. Steps in the Cleanup group always run even when some of the steps in the Setup group do not run. When a step in the Cleanup group causes a run-time error, execution continues to the next step in the Cleanup group.
We will learn how to a Message Popup step in the Cleanup step group and, lastly, how to rename it; how to set the Message Expression (we must enclose literal strings in double quotation marks ("…") in any TestStand expression field).
