Disabling Report Generation

[Troy12]

Thanks. I did put a MsgPopup in the FrontEndCallBacks.seq, but did not see it pop up when TestStand application was initiated.

FrontEndCallBacks.seq is called everytime TestStand application is opened, right?

Do I have to set anything by going to Menu -> Edit -> Sequence File Callbacks?

Thank you.

You must be having the DLL option enabled

Enable the Sequence option which is under Configure -> Report Options -> Select a Report Generator...

[Troy12]

That is right. DLL seems to be the default option. Both radio buttons are greyed out and I could not enabled them. Is there a way to enable the options?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yeah by not selecting XML.

Hi Troy12,

Why are you in the FrontEndCallbacks seq I thought you were doing something with the ReportOptions!!!!

The only sequences in the FrontEndCallbacks.seq are the Login and Logout.

Hello Ray,

I created a separate sequence to start with (attached), and it was created by using ReportOptions (via Edit > Sequence File Callbacks). However, when I run it, Report Generation is not disabled. Am I missing any steps in attached sequence file? I am assuming that this sequence should be directly run. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I already have FrontEndCallBacks.seq (which is placed in \callbacks\user\.. ) modified to do autologin for target machine. However, I also wish to programmatically disable Report Generation. Is there a way to disable the report generation through TestStand or LabVIEW?

Comments/suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.

Troy,

Just ran your last attached sequence and it disabled the report generation.

I had a problem recently where I programmatically disabled report generation, when I tried to re-enable it programatically it would not work.  After many attempts and tracing activities which did not resolve the issue I went to the trouble of uninstalling both labview and teststand and reinstalling both applications.  After significant effort this did not correct the issue.  I found that I had to delete all of the Teststand configuration files in the windows user directories "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\TestStand 4.1.1\Cfg".  When I reopened Teststand it recreated these files and the report generation worked again.

Your problem may be similar?

Thanks for the useful information. I will give it a try...

I am using TestStand 3.5 and just noticed that TestStand folder is not available in:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments

I will try reinstalling TestStand and LabVIEW for now and cross my fingers. Thanks!

Troy,

I suggest that you find the configuration files for your installation and delete them manually before reinstalling TestStand.  Version 4.1.1 of TestStand uninstall fails to delete these files so reinstalling the app simple utilises the old files maintaining any possible corruption.

Search for TestStandModelModelOptions.ini which on our installation of 3.2 is located under the C:\Programs\NationalInstruments\...
