Can I hide tests steps in the TestStand operator (user) interface

[David_Grucza]

Suppose I have a TestStand Sequence with a good bit of flow control in it. I need to limit what the user sees so that it doesn't become too confusing. I can make each test in a series of tests a sub-sequence, but this only gets me so far. I might have say 15 sub-sequences in my main test sequence. The user can choose to conduct any one of these. And all of the flow control is in the subsequence, so the user doesn't see that detail. But say if the UUT fails the seventh test it has to be trimmed, and this necessitates going back to the 5th test. Now I have flow control visable to the user again. The user doesn't need to see this. I only need to notify the user, say through a popup, that the test is going back to test 5.

Hello David,

I am a little bit confused about what you want the operator to see.  If you don't want them to see anything, then you can disable tracing and hide as much of the sequence as you want in a subsequence.  Then you can notify the operator of anything they need to know through message popups.  Is this the behavior you are looking for?
