Lock SequenceFilePostResultListEntry

[aparab]

hi,

I do custom results  i.e. in TDMS format & use the SequenceFilePostResultListEntry.

I am using the sequential Model.

To save  on  time I would like that  this   engine callback   runs  as a different thread so it can run parallel to my  steps.

Also I would like to lock  it so  2 consecutive steps which save results ((additional results))   can do so  one after other

I know I can create a Lock-Synchronization  step in this Callback.

But by any means can I just Lock & run the engine-Callback as a new thread .

Should I be doing this in the SequentialModel.seq file?

You could save the last thread reference in a file global, then, each time you enter the callback, do something like the following:

If (FileGlobal.postResultThread != Nothing)

WaitForThread(FileGlobal.postResultThread); /// use a wait step.

FileGlobal.postResultThread = Nothing

Endif

Call Sequence in a New Thread (store thread reference in FileGlobal.postResultThread)

Don't forget to shutoff result collection for all of the sequences in your postresult callback.

The above will allow up to one sequence to run in parallel at a time. If another one tries to run before the first one is finish, it will wait.

Hope this helps,

-Doug
