Assign function key to custom process model entry point?

[Joe Roberts]

TestStand 2.01f

Is there a way to assign a function key (or ctrl-key combination) to execute
a custom process model entry point? Like how F5 executes 'Test UUTs' in the
default NI process models?

Thanks,

There is no way to do that for the sequence editor. Of course, in an operator interface, you can edit the source code to provide any menu items you like with exactly the shortcut keys you want.

If you want to make the shortcut keys in an OI vary according to the selected process model, your OI could read a sequence specified shortcut key value from a entry point sequence local variable that has a specific name you designate. You could then place instances of that local variable in the process model entry point sequences for which you want to specify shortcut keys.

Hi,
There's a possibility lanching the TS editor and specifying the command line " for inst TestUUT's ".

much more efficient's to bypass the TS editor and launch directly the engine.

If you need more help ,let me know.

i didn't specify that it possible outside the process
model !!
for ex from a CVI application with some shortcuts controls.
