Append Statement

Version 6

This statement allows to append a message to the log string that ATEasy generates. For example, Append statement from a test will print its message after test results instead of ahead of them.

Syntax

Append "append_message"

Comments

This statement is new in ATEasy 6.0.

Most test engineers expect to see in a log test results and if there are messages relating to them they usually appear after the test results.  This way the log may show a failure and then a message with more details, see examples below.

Example

! ... in the test code

Dmm Measure (TestResult)

if (TestResult<Test.min)

    Append "Result too low - check circuit X"

elseif (TestResult>Test.max)

    Append "Result too high - check circuit Y"

endif
 

!A different example :

Pio Get Port Data DWord (aPort 0, dwData)

 

if ((dwData and 0x40) = 0x40)

    Append "Bit 7 was set, indicating timeout"

endif

if ((dwData and 0x10) = 0x100)

    Append "Bit 9 was set, indicating over voltage"

endif
