a limitation in number of items at toolsmemu,.ini ?

I'm using Testand customized Tools menu in order to let operators at production line to load test programs easily. The problem is that after number of items I added I got the menu item 'Test uut' instead of the item I entered.

I attached file s which I hope will clarify the problem.

I'm using Testand 3.5.

Hi Ofer,

 

I was able to reproduce the behavior using your ToolMenu.ini in TestStand 3.5. This seems to be a bug in TestStand 3.5. This bug has been fixed in TestStand 4.0.1f1.

Ofer,

 

TestStand 3.5 has a limit of 64 Tools Menu Items. TestStand 4.0 and later allow for 512+ Tools Menu Items. There isn't a patch for TestStand 3.5 however, there are many possible ways to workaround this limitation. For example, you could have one tool that launches a code module user interface in which you can display as many tools as you want and then execute the necessary tool based on the user selection on the user interface.
