sequence file path programmed in operator interface

[srapp@moog.de]

Hello,

I do not want to load the sequence file with the button OPEN_FILE etc.. for example how it is done in th Simple Operator Interface. I want to programm the path and the sequence file name in the Operator Interface. How can I do this that the correct file will be loaded

regards

samuel

You can connect an invoke node to the application manager object, and select the method OpenSequenceFile. With this method you can load a sequence programmatically, so the user doesn´t has to load it on his own anymore.

Hi. I have the same problem, but i still don't know how to solve it.
I tried to use invoke node but it generates errors or nothing happened.
I tried solution http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/125A00298F2A58F186256F9D008268FF?OpenDocument but I captured empty events.

Could someone send me a print-screen or a llb-file, please...

One more thing - I need to have the same path loaded after logout/login.

Andre,

could you post an example. I tried what you explained without success.

Thanks

I try to explain what you have to do without an example, because it is realy simple, and so we have no version dependency 😉

I used the "simple operator interface" installed with TestStand (..\National Instruments\TestStand 3.x\Operator\Interfaces\NI\Simple\LabVIEW\TestExec.llb\Simple OI - Top-Level.vi). I added the method mentioned above in front of the Event-Structure (See attached picture)  and added a path-constant, to define which Sequence should be loaded automatically.

Try this out. It works fine on my machine (LabVIEW 8.2.1, TestStand 3.5, but should be independent of Versions as long as you have TestStand 3 and LabVIEW 7 at least).

Hope this helps!

André

Hi Andre,

what you suggest works fine and solved my problem. Just to better address other possible users on what I was looking for, I put in a wrong place the methods invoked (in place of the open sequence button and method). The second mistake I've done was to write the path without specifying also the seq file to open (error on the method help). From your picture and explanation I discover both my errors.

Thank you again.
