How to use the Tool menu to load seq file

[Rafi2003]

I would like to use the Tools Menu (using the customizing option) in order to load (or run) a sequence. This particular sequence file has SequenceFileLoad, SequenceFileUnload and MainSequence.

I would like to load the seq file exactly as it is done with File/Open/myseq.seq (which first execute the SequenceFileLoad and than, display the main sequence list of test in a window waiting for F5 or other executing commands)

I examined the other examples in the Tool menu, however, when I use the 'customize' for my seq file nothing happens and the TS is frozen. I have tried to specify either MainSequence or SeqFileLoad but non seems to work.

Any idea?

Thanks

Rafi -
It appears that the LoadCallback causes the OI to be non-responsive. We can look into that. What I recommend is the following.

Create a tool menu sequence open the target sequence file, send a message to the OI to create a window for the target sequence file, and then release the target sequence file.

If you want to run a sequence in the target sequence file, you can just call the sequence using a sequence call step.

See attached sequence files.

FYI, the hang condition was fixed in TestStand 3.0.

Thank you Scott very very much!!

Although I don't fully understand how it works, I was able to test it and then implement it in my system.

It works great, doing exactly what I wanted.

Thanks again.
