Two Teststand sessions opened - Popup with changed StationGlobals

Hello,

i am running teststand in a custom GUI where a executing file is writing values to StationGlobals..

When i then open parallel the normal teststand-editor to simply edit another sequence (not the parallel running) then i get the attached popup.

I am not sure if this popup is coming from the:

a) running Teststand in the Gui which is executing a sequence or

b) from the not running "normal" teststand where only a sequence file is opened

 

What is the correct selection in the popup so that the running/executing teststand does not lose any values in StationGlobals? Is there a way to set this selection as default?

 

Thx

Hello,

 

StationGlobals variables are saved in an ini file and are accessible to every sequence file on a station. Since you are writing to the StationGlobals in your custom GUI these changes are also noticed by the TestStand Sequence Editor. The engine has a mechanism that notifies the user of changes made to ini files.

 

Which UI throws the message and what exactly are you doing? I could provoke that message only under these conditions:
1. Changing the StationGlobals.ini from the Sequence Editor

2. Running a sequence file that modifies the value of a StationGlobals variable in the custom GUI.

 

The message is thrown by the custom GUI when exiting the application.
