TestStand -> Reload Sequence Files On Start

[icastillejos]

I have a question. I am mantaining a OI and some of the users would like to set ApplicationMgr.ReloadSequenceFilesOnStart to ReloadFile_All but some of them strongly prefer the ReloadFile_None option, as this is harcoded on the OI I would not like to deal with two versions of the OI. Is there a way to access this by means of an .ini file or something like that. I have been trying to access this property using an Activex step that calls the TestStand API but I haven't been succesful so far.

Thank you for your help,

Iñaki

Hi Inaki,

As part of your OI code:

1)  Prompt the user to ask which option he/she would like
2)  Save the option in your own .ini file.

Upon starting, your OI code can programmatically read this .ini file to determine which option to call.  One can also make a button that can change this setting whenever the user would like.

Also, please note the response that AndyMc provided in the other discussion.

If you would like further assistance, please let me know how you are accessing the TestStand API (i.e. CVI, LabVIEW).

Cheers,
