Counting issue with log file IAT
Hello.
We have an issue with the logging documents of our tests. We have multiple variables that we record response time for in an IAT. The issue is, that, when a response category is completed, every following response is also counted in the previous category as the same number as the last actual response.
I'll try to explain with an example (also see screenshot for reference).
For the first response category, the subsequent categories correctly read NA in the log file. However. Once the first response category has been completed, it ought to switch to NA, as the next category starts from 1. The next category starts just fine, but the same issue exists after that category. So basically only the final category is recorded correctly, as it has all the previous categories as NA.
I hope the issue makes sense, I don't know how else I can explain it. Does anyone know how to make a category register as NA when it has been completed, and not just before it starts?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Emilia,
Unfortunately, it is not very clear what you mean. Perhaps you can share your experiment and explain what your experiment is supposed to do and what it actually does?
Generelly, once a variable is initialized it will keep its current value for every time the logger is called until it its value changes. So, if you don't want it to keep its value after a different block type begun, you either need to manually change its value to NA, or whichever value you like, or you make sure that the different blocks all write to the same variable (which is normally what you would want to do, I believe). Then, you can split the performance per category later during analysis more easily.
