Extra flags for each test

[incognito]

Currently it's possible to select the measurements before the report is printed / generated. But if you have 10-20 measuremnets it's not clear which ones you want to report…

Maybe it is a good idea to have the possibility to set a flag after each measurement. For example:

• passed / not passed (just as a information for the end customer)
• reported / not reported (as a selector for the report generator)

These additional flags can simplify the selection of the correct measurements during the generation of the report.
Is it possible that you add these flags to RadiMation?

In RadiMation it is very easy to add extra flags for each test or measurement. And these flags can also be used for the problem that you described.

Each test in RadiMation has the possibility to specify 'General Info' or 'Advanced information', which can be used to specify additional information that is test specific. When the 'General Info' button is clicked the 'Advanced Information' window is shown, which allows that additional Name/Value-pairs are added to the predefined list.
In this window it is thus possible to add your own flags. One of them can for example be: 'Pass/Fail' and another could be: 'Report status'.

The 'Advanced Information' can of course also be edited after the test has been performed, and at that moment the correct state for the flags can be updated.

These 'Advanced Information' items make it possible to store test specific information in the corresponding test or measurement. A list with already known standard information items like the test-engineer, and the used RadiMation version is also always added to this same list. To make the retrieval of the information more easier, it is possible to show the 'Advanced Information' items in the list of performed tests in the EUT-window.
All the available 'Advanced Information' items are automatically available as a new column in the list of performed tests. By right-clicking on the column header of the list of performed tests in the EUT window, it is possible to show these additional columns in the list of performed tests. Once the desired columns are added, it is also possible to sort the list of performed tests by clicking on the desired column header.

The additional columns that are selected for the list of performed tests is also automatically shown in the report generator where the tests can be selected for inclusion in the report generator.

This usage of the 'Advanced Information' items make it very easy to add your own flags to each test or measurement. Depending on your own needs you can define your own custom flags, and the information of these flags can very easily be used to select or filter specific test or measurements.

Besides making the additional 'Advanced Information' items visible in the EUT window, it is also very easy to include the same information in the report generator.
To include a specific 'Advanced Information' item in the report, just use the the code that is the name of the name of the 'Advanced Information' item.
So to include the 'Pass/Fail' status in the report for a test, use the code: ||TEST-IDENTIFIER|PASS/FAIL||.
To include the 'Report Status' in the report for a test, use the code: ||TEST-IDENTIFIER|REPORT STATUS||.

In this way all the other 'Advanced Information' items that are available for a test, can be included in the report. Also the other columns that are possible in the list of performed tests in the EUT window, can be used as a report generator code. Some additional report generator codes are thus:

• ||TEST-IDENTIFIER|RADIMATION VERSION||
• ||TEST-IDENTIFIER|TEST ENGINEER||
• ||TEST-IDENTIFIER|TEST ELAPSED TIME||
• ||TEST-IDENTIFIER|TEST FILESIZE||
• etc...
