pass an indicator back to the Operator Interface

[Clint Eastwood]

I'm using the Simple Operator Interface.  Teststand 4.0 and labview 8.x prototype adapters.  In my test I turn on a 375 volt power supply.  Is there a way to pass maybe a boolean back to the OI when the PS is turned on so that a green indicator light is turned on the front panel of the OI??

Thanks!

You can use UI Messages to solve this. See this post for an example.

hope this helps,

Yes but you will have to modify the Simple Operator Interface (create a copy of the NI folder to a User folder).  The usual method is via "user messages" or UImessage.  It is an ActiveX method that you can call in your sequence to pass data.  In the modified Operator Interface you then need to create a Callback Event to handle your UImessage and update the boolean indicator.

Here is another community example that makes use of UIMessages as well.

Here is the sequence file saved to the 4.0.x format.  Do you need the LabVIEW code saved back to an earlier version as well?

I have LV 9 if that helps.

If you have LabVIEW 2009, you should be able to open those LabVIEW files...let me know if you have trouble with it though.
