Operator Interface

[Clint Eastwood]

In the Simple Operator Interface how would you hard code in a Sequence in the Open Sequence File window ?

Hi Clint Eastwood,

One way to do this is shown in the attached screenshot.  After the "Start" invoke node, you can place down an "OpenSequenceFile" invoke node (pass in a reference to the Application Manager) and then wire in your path to hard code.  This is just a string constant.  You can then place down a "SequenceFile" property node (pass in a reference to the Sequence File View Manager) and wire in the reference from the OpenSequenceFile output.  This will populate the sequence file combo box.

Thanks Kelly.  Can you stay tuned to see if it works??  I'll try it today or tomorrow.

Hi Kelly,

May have spoke too soon.  The solution populates the hard coded seq in the "sequnce files" window when I 1st run it.  After I enter the user name and password it repopulates it w the last seq I ran.

Hi Clint,

I have not reproduced this behavior on my system.  I would like to clarify, does this happen after you enter the user name and password initially, and after you do this,  it changes from "Test.seq" to a sequence that you ran previously in another run?  What version of TestStand are you running?  One thing that you could try is in the "Configure Application Manager" diagram, set the "ReloadSequenceFilesOnStart" to "ReloadFile_None."  I have attached a screenshot highlighting this property.

Kelly,

The Seq is on another machine in another building.  Give me some time and I'll send 3 screen shots.  One of the block diag.chg'd, one before I run the seq and one after I run it.

Thanks.

Kelly,

I tried the "ReloadFile_None" and it appears to work.  Now I get this strange behavior where I get this overlay.  See attached.

To answer your earlier question.  Yes, I hit the RUN arrow.  The "Test2.seq" that I had hardcoded in appears in the Seq File Window.  Then I'm prompted for the TS User Name and Password.  When  I type those in and hit return it displays the previous seq ("Test1.seq") I ran in the Seq File Window.  This ReloadFile_None appears to work but now I have a different problem.

Hi Clint,

Sorry for the slow reply.  I have been out of the office.  Have you seen this behavior on your machine at any other time (e.g. when you run the Simple OI without modification).  If not, we may have a timing issue.   What version of TestStand and LabVIEW are you using?  I haven't been able to replicate this on my system so far, but these parameters may help me.

[Clint Eastwood]

This behavior only happens when I use the Source Code for OI.  Once I put it in a Project and create the exe it doesn't appear again....at least for now!

Check your setting of ApplicationMgr.ReloadSequenceFilesOnStart property.

Sorry, I see you've checked this...
