Progress bar

[sfl]

I have sequences which take a long time to execute (more than an hour). It is frustrating to wait such a long time without any information. Is it possible to display a progress bar or something like that to show where we are in the execution ?

The Sequence Editor and the user interfaces "full-featured" have a progress bar at the bottom. If you have a longer sequence run, you can see it "working" during report generation.

You can use this progress bar in your own sequence as well. All you need is to send an UI Message each time you want to update the progress bar with a new value (e.g. 65 for 65% finished). The UI Message would be "Progress Percent" and is a predefined message. Just pass the value you want to display....

hope this helps,

What do you mean by the user interfaces "full-featured" ? Is it possible to have a screenshot ?

Thanks for your help.

After the installation of TestStand, you have also predefined user interfaces installed with TestStand. You can find the sources in your TestStand/UserInterfaces - folder.

The full-featured UIs are also precompiled and available in the startmenu (Start >> Programs >> National Instruments >> TestStand >> User Interfaces).

hope this helps,
