Programmatically calling Test UUTs method from LabVIEW operator interface

[SajK]

Hi All,

I planning to customise the Simple Operator interface shipped along with NI Test stand. I want to rename the 'Test UUTs' button with 'Start Test' and Disable the button once it is clicked, till completion of the test.

How it can be implemented? I could not find way to rename the 'Test UUTs' button.

Is there any direct method available in LabVIEW  to programmaticaly execute a sequence with entry point 1 (Test UUTs method)?

I am using LabVIEW 8.2 and Test stand 3.5.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The text for the buttons is derived from the various ini files in the components\NI\Language\..\ folder.

The Test UUTs text is in the TestStandStrings.ini

If you add the following to the CustomStrings.ini, which can be found in the components\User\Language\English\ folder, then the engine will use the text found in the User folder rather than the NI folder.

[MODEL]

TEST_UUTS = "Start Test"

When TestStand SeqEditor / Operator Interface is launched you should fined that the Test UUTs button is now called Start Test.

Thanks  Ray. It works fine.

I would like to ask one more thing.

Is there any direct method available in LabVIEW  to programmaticaly execute a sequence with entry point 1 (Test UUTs method)?

I want to call this method from an Event structure, on LabVIEW boolean control value change.

I could find method for "Run Main Sequence", not for "Test UUTs".

Hi SajK,

I just found out how to do this exact same thing. Have a look at this thread and it will explain how to do it. I have also attached a PIC that shows.
