Custom TestStand Model with WATS Support

I would like to add WATS results reporting to my custom TestStand model. Do I understand correctly that the most important element I need to add is the WATS_Teststand_Support.WATS_UUTReport.Save(ThisContext) method call? I understand this method should be called when the MainSequence ResultList is ready. It should be called as in the "Log To WATS using API" subsequence of the WATS_ReportLogger.seq file. Complementary steps would be to appropriately fill the UUT variable (type ET_UUT) with data. Do I understand correctly how it works?

  Hi Michal,

  You should be able to just change the model to your custom model, since the WATS add-on is implemented as a plug-in.  https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand/page/tsfundamentals/infotopics/process_model_plugin_arch.html
  So install the WATS add-on and change the model back to your custom model.

  How about IndentifyUUT.vi? This is part of the custom WATS process model.

  Yes, it is located under "DoPreUUT".

  But this means I will not only need to configure WATS plug-in but also include IndentifyUUT.vi in my custom process model? Anything else?

  Well, you may use the WATS IndentifyUUT.vi or make your own. The most important part is that you fill the values in the UUT container.
