[TS 41] UI Auto Load Sequence Files

Hi All

 

 

I had a labVIEW UI that could load a sequence file when opened (user could change sequence file at run-time). 

However, when shifting TestStand from 4.0 to 4.1 (and LabVIEW from 8.5 to 8.6). 

The VI still could load the sequence but all the TestStand activex control buttons are disabled so user could not

run the loaded sequence files.  I have no idea why this happen and guess it's about TS API changes from 4.0 to 4.1.

 

So how do I need to modify my code to achieve this?  (I know we could use command line but I'd prefer the feature

built-in).  I attached my UI (TestStand User interface.vi) and a seququence as a zip file below.

 

Thank you

Kirika -

The only thing that would cause the UI controls to be disable is if there is no currently logged in user or if the logged in user has limited privileges. So check the settings on the User Manager tab of the Station Option dialog box between the two instances of TestStand that you are comparing. Are they the same, and if not, what is different? Options include enabling Automatically Login Windows System User and create a default user for yourself. You might try disabling Check User Privileges and leave Require User Login empty, but I think there is a known issue where the \run and \runEntryPoint command-line arguments are ignored when no user is logged in.
