Some of our sequence files are quite large, and we've set the properties of most of the steps within such that ... Load Option: Preload when opening sequence file. One reason we did this is that we'd rather the operator wait while loading that when they want to run. Usually when you're loading, you can do other things to prepare for the upcoming test. The other reason is that an hour glass shows up when a sequence file is loading, but one does NOT show up when you click TEST UUTs.
On our system, when you bring up the teststand operator interface (customized in our case), it loads the last sequence file you ran. This may or maynot be the sequence file we NOW want to run. If it's not, not only did you have to wait for that file to load, but then you have to select the sequence file you really wanted, and wait for THAT one to load. This is quite frustrating.
Can we set things up such that the default is to not pre-load any sequence file. We just want the OI to come up ready to go, then the user can select File::Open Sequence File when ready.
