selectable sequences

[Clint Eastwood]

Is there a way to have User Selectable Sequences from TS 4?  When the user runs the main sequence a POPUP will appear that allows them to select ( Buttons) which test to run ?

Hi CE,

Look at this small example. I have used the TS message pop up for this stuff.

Juergen,

That worked like a charm !!!!!! 

Thanks !

Juergen,

Is there a way to add an EXIT Button ??  When the user selects this button the seq does a Cleanup and closes the seq??

Thanks,

Clint

Hi Clint,

Check out the example

Take a look into PostAction of MessagePopup

How do you make so that when you select EXIT the green pass/red fail banner isn't diplayed??

Hi Clint,

Oh! this is process model dependent. Let's assume you have the Sequential Model from NI or some derived stuff,

I would overwrite the PostUUT callback (If you dont like a report do the same) and also store the nButtonHit in a FileGlobal to get access

Check out the example

Juergen,

With the example sent can you pass parameters between the main seq and one of the subsequences??  I can seem to find a simple way around it.  I'd like to allow the Tech to run individual sub-subsequences.  In your example seq A or B or C would also have calls to their own seqs in my file.  In Main I would set a parameter to a 1 or 2 based on "buttonhit" from a popup.  In each of the sub-sub sequnces it would check a precondition to see the value of this variable.  If it was one value the step would execute.  Otherwise it would skip it.  I'm trying to eliminate the pwr up and pwr down of Supplies if the user selects an end to end test rather than just run a single sub/sub seq.  So back to my question ( unless you have a better suggestion).  Can I pass a parameter from Main in your example ( it evla'd at run time) to any one of the sub seq calls (Seq A or Seq B etc.) ?  Or am I stuck using a global?

Also, is it possible to "hide" the post uut/post uut loop icons when I use the Operator Interface shipped w TS??  I don't want the Operator to be able to select one of these callbacks when they load the Main Sequence file.

Thanks!!

Hello Clint,

Thank you for posting on the NI Discussion Forums.  Attached is a modified version of the last example Juergen posted.  It has an extra Message Popup step in first step of the Main Sequence that prompts the user to press one of two buttons.  The button press is stored to a local variable in the Main sequence, which is then passed to a parameter named “param” in SeqA, SeqB, or SeqC (depending on which one the user chooses)  through a Pre-Expression function in the Sequence Call step.  Then, the Sequences SeqA, SeqB, and SeqC test “param” to display one of two messages using an If flow control step.

Can you tell me which OI shipping example (and which version of it) you are referring to that you would like to hide the Sequence view tab?
