When a test generates large amounts of data, TestStand might appear to hang while processing the data and generating the report. Use one of the following approaches to handle large amounts of data in your reports.

  • Avoid putting large amounts of data directly in the report. Instead, store the data in a large data file, such as TDMS, and provide a link to the file in the report.
  • If you want to add a large amount of data to a report without referencing an external file, use a TSR plugin to generate a TSR file when testing. On a different machine or after testing, use the TSR file to generate reports.
    Note The TSR format generates a compact raw results file and, if used, requires the TestStand Offline Results Processing Utility to generate the final report.
