Can you hide specific Test Sockets while leaving others visible?

[RGarron]

Scenario: Using the Batch Process Model with 4 Test Sockets.

Question: Is there a way to Hide specific Test Sockets while leaving others visible. For instance, can you hide Test Sockets 1, 3 while leaving Test Sockets 0,1 visible?

Thanks,

Ron

Hi Ron,

Yes it is possible, however a little tricky.
To allow individual test sockets to be visible/hidden, requires an update to the Batch Process Model.
The "Hide Executions?" Step in the "Initialize TestSocket" Sequence in the Batch Process Model needs to be skipped/executed to make visible/hidden for each test socket.

I've attached an example with  3 files.

BatchModel_Hide_Individual.seq
ModelSupport_mod.seq
Test Hiding.seq

I've updated the ModelOptions data type to ModelOptions_Mod to include an array of boolean for hidden/visible test sockets.
This data type is also used in ModelSupport.seq, So I've had to include a modified version of that with the new data type.
This is the only change in this file from the origional NI one.

In the BatchModel_Hide_Individual.seq, I've updated the "Get Model Options" & "Initialize TestSocket" sequences to use the updated data type.
I've added "***UPDATED" to the comments field of all the steps I've modified.

Finally the Test Hiding.seq is an example test sequence.
By creating a "ModelOptions" callback in this sequence you can make visible/hidden indivitual test sockets by setting the propertie
Set Parameters.ModelOptions.HideIndividualExecutions[ TEST SOCKET NUMBER ]
True = Hidden
False = Visible

I hope this makes sense.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
