Change the Open Sequence File initial path of the TestStand Simple Operator Interface with LabVIEW

[Daniel Coelho]

Hi,

I'm using a TestStand Operator Interface made with LabVIEW similar to the TS Simple OI example.

But I want to change the path when clicking the Open Sequence File button, I want a specific path.

All help is apreciated.

Regards,

Just need some help on how to specify the folder that TestStand opens when I click Open Sequence File.

Is there a way to do it on LabVIEW or on the TestStand configuration menus?

Daniel, you might be interested in this Knowledge Base:

How Do I Change the Default Directory for the Open File Dialog in TestStand?

I searched ni.com for open file dialog teststand and this was the fifth or so link.

Thank you for your time.

You're right, I searched ni.com and I found the same link. I promise to search more carefully next time.

Although I wanted to do it programatically, this way works as well.

Thank you for your help one more time.

Regards.

Daniel,

          From a LabVIEW VI, you can make a similar call to "SetCurrentDirectory" in kernel32.dll using Call Library Function node.

Thank you for your reply.

I already tried to do it and it didn't work.

I called kernel32.dll and created a string argument with "C:\\EXISTING_PATH" but TestStand wasnt opening my selected folder.
