Message popup when launching Operator interface

[ssuarez]

Hello,

When I launch one of the Operator Interface provided with TestStand 3.1 the following message popup is displayed :

Title : "Web page unavailable while offline"
Contents : "The web page you requested is not available offline. To view this page, click Connect.
And two buttons : "Connect" or "Stay Offline"

I don't have web connection on this PC.
It occurs with evry Operator interface but doesn't look like a TestStand message.
This behaviour is a problem for me because I want to launch automatically Operator interface using its command line,
but this message waits for an operator answer and so halts the automatic execution.

Why do operator interfaces need this web connection?
How can I avoid having this message popup?

Regards,
Stephane.

We are running TS 3.1 Operator Interfaces on machines with no internet connections with no problems. I'm guessing that someone has added something into the TS or OI configuration to do this. 

Do you get the same when you run the TS Sequence Editor?  If so, has anyone modified the USER or NI FrontEndCallback sequence to connect during initialisation of the TS Engine.  They can be found in the following locations.

\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.1\Components\User\Callbacks\FrontEnd\FrontEndCallbacks.seq

and

\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.1\Components\User\Callbacks\FrontEnd\FrontEndCallbacks.seq

Alternatively has the Operator Interface been modified, my TS 3.1 Operator Interfaces as installed from the CD all have dates in 2004.

Regards

Steve

Hi Steve,

The message popup is not displayed when launching the SeqEdit.exe.

And the OI are the original ones (2004).

Thanks.

Hi

The message popups are shown by Internet explorer(IE). It looks like IE is trying to connect when it is first opened.

I suspect it is related to the "connection" settings for IE. Check Internet Options -> Connections tab.

Make sure you choose "Never dial a connection" option.
