Description

Overview

This example shows how to check the state of the execution, and change the behavior based on whether the execution is terminating.

 

Description

When you terminate a TestStand execution, the Cleanup step group for each executing sequence is still run in order to ensure that any shutdown code that may be present is executed.  In some cases, you may need to change the behavior of the shutdown code based on whether the execution is terminating or running normally.  To accomplish this, check the value of the following property:

 

RunState.Execution.GetStates (runState, termState)

 

The termState out parameter returns the current termination state of the execution.  the TestStand API Help provides detailed information of the possible values for each parameter:

 

TestStand API Reference Help: GetStates Method

 

Hardware and Software Requirements

Determining Termination Status - TS2012.seq

TestStand 2012 or Compatible

Determining Termination Status - TS2017.seq

TestStand 2017 or Compatible

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Open the attached sequence file, and run the MainSequence using Execute » MainSequence .
  2. When prompted, either click Continue to complete the execution normally or click the termination button to terminate the execution (alternatively, navigate to Debug » Terminate Execution) .
  3. Another dialog appears, indicating whether the execution was terminated.  Since this step is in the cleanup step group, it is executed in either case.
