DIAdem basic - scripts

[KarenD]

I work in DIAdem Advanced but create scripts that others who work in the BAsic version need to use. I currently set their machines up to run as a start script. However sometimes they want to use DIAdem for other purposes so the script is not appropriate.

1. Is there any way other than using a start script to run a script in basic?

2. If that is the only way, is there a way to have the script ask them if they want to use it and give them a way out?

It is annoying the other users to have this always want to run when they only use it about half the time.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can create a Desktop shortcut with a start script as parameter like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\DIAdem 2015\DIAdem.exe" "/CScriptStart('C:\Data\StartScript.vbs')"

Then you can have one shortcut with and one without start script.

Another alternative is to use the script group in any module to start any script:

If you want to ask the user whether to run a start script or not you can use this as a start script in DIAdem settings:

if MsgBox("Do you want to run the start script?", vbYesNo) = VBYes then
	call ScriptStart("C:\Data\StartScript.vbs")
end if

Only if the user clicks yes in the message popup another script (main start script) will run.
