How to get TS present Run Mode

[labc]

Hi, everyone,

I have some cleanup procedures to be done in my sequences but I would not let them go if I'm debugging the relevant sequence. You know, sometimes we can keep the handles or resources open or connected especially with LabVIEW.

Is there a API to know TS' present Run Mode? Please forgive me use this TS term.

Thanks.

TestStand is no programming language. As a result, there is no "debug version" or "release version" of a sequence.

The option to break/step/resume for debugging purposes is a feature of the TestStand engine which applies to executions. The execution however does not know if it will break or not.

Breaking is a feature which requires user rights (debugging section).

You can, however, create your own terms for such requirements. Two options come in mind:

- Add a configuration file and appropriate modules to determine a "run mode"

- Use custom UI(s) and query the UI for the "run mode"

Norbert, Got it, thank you.
