Customizing UUT information dialog box

[darkxceed]

Hello,

After some fiddling I finally can compile de "modelsupport2.prj" in CVI.

I adjusted the uutdlg.c and compiled it, some strange things appeared.

In CVI the label text on the string input box is like "ENTER UUT SERIAL NUMBER:" but when running it in teststand it appears like "Enter UUT Serial Number:".

Why is this happening? 

I made an extra string input box with label "ENTER UUT PRODUCT NUMBER:" this appears the same in Teststand.

The Constant name of the new string input box is "PRODUCTNUMBER", how can I call this value from teststand?

Bart

Hi Bart,

--In CVI the label text on the string input box is like "ENTER UUT SERIAL NUMBER:" but when running it in teststand it appears like "Enter UUTSerial Number:".

This behaviour is right. There is language tabelle which is replacing it.

You can not call the CVI control from TestStand.  You are responsible for sharing

values from CVI into Testand.

There are some examples shipped with Teststand

Examples/Demo/c/computer.seq

I would create a copy of  DisplayUUTInformationDialog and rename it to DisplayUUTInformationOrderNumDialog

and add a new string "orderNumber" parameter to the function. Do Dataexchange in the same way like serialnumber

After compling you should see DisplayUUTInformationOrderNumDialog as function. Select it and add a TS variable

to orderNumber Value Expression Field.

Thats all

hope this helps

Hey j_dodek,

Hi Bart

Please see this

Folder C:\Programme\National Instruments\TestStand 2010\Components\Language\English

I am honest! Last time i visitied this it was under TS2.0 and it was just one ini-file!

Seems under TS4.5 there were some ini files more. Happy seach and find

Hi,

It will probably in the one associated with the TestExec.

If you want to add your own or modify existing resource, then dont modify these file but add your own resources in the CustomStrings.ini file in the User area. The User area will depend on which version of TestStand you are using.

When TestSTand starts, the Resources placed in CustomStrings.ini will override those in the default ini files.

Hi Brad,

Just one question, which File and Folder are you doing your modifications ?

Hi

Why do need this?

Just do your Uut dialog with LabView itself.

I assume a simple VI just one "screen" should be enough.

I will try that if cvi never will work.

Spend some time now to get it to work, so just want to learn more.
