The requirements for submitting an EDD package for registration are complex. Submissions that do not meet the requirements are returned to the developer for resolution. You can shorten the amount of time to have your submission accepted by running this test tool before you submit. These are the same tools used by the FieldComm Group to check your submission package.
The DD-STAT extension requires these other extensions:
Microsoft Live Preview
EDDL
To install them, click on the extensions button at the extreme left of the editor. Then type the names of the extensions into the search bar. When you find each extension, click on it in the extensions of view to install it.
Locate the file ddstat.vsix extension on your computer. Install it using the '...' menu at the top of the extensions view.
After the extension is active, you will see a small pane in the file explorer view to the lower left. Click on the "DD-STAT" bar to show or minimize the user interface.
Open your Submission folder in VS Code. The extension will not operate from any other folder.
Browse the Submission files as desired using the explorer view at the left.
You operate the extension by pressing the buttons on the user interface. Their operation is described below.
Init
Create a new folder that will contain your DD registration submission files and open it in VSCode.
Then click the Init button. The extension will create the needed folders and documents in the current working directory.
A ConfigurationFiles folder will be created containing 'unknown' configuration settings for the test tool. You will need to provide the correct values for your device in this file before running the test automation.
Audit
The audit command will check to see if your submission folder structure is correct, and also that the required files are present and contain valid data. If the audit shows any errors, the test automation will not operate.
Run
Run the automation on the submission folder in the current working directory.
Results will be available in these files in the TestReports folder:
audit.log
summary.html
detail.log
console.txt
The run will terminate if VSCode is not open in a proper Submission folder. Check the audit.log file for diagnostics.
Summary
After test completes, click the Summary button to bring up the HTML dashboard display.
Detail
Click Detail button to open the recently completed detail.log file.
Report
Click this button to summarize the results of the automation run in the test report Word document that's found in the root of the current working directory. The document's report name will follow this convention: TR*.docx. The test report must be created from the template "TR10208-ZZZZ{2.0.xxx}_HART-EDD-Test-Report".
Errors and warnings from the tokenizer will be assembled into the correct document sections. Also, errors and warnings from the test automation will be summarized in the correct sections of this document.
A new tab will open in the editor showing the console output from the automation.
Submit
This button will open a new tab in the editor wit instructions how to submit your DD for registration.
