Configure UI To Display Slot 1,2,3 instead of Socket 0,1,2

[snowpunter]

Looking for straightforward ways of displaying Slot 1-x on the UI instead of Socket 0-x as no one in the real world is identifying physical slots at 0. Yes, I know the software reasons why it starts at 0 and no I don't want to text jiggawax about it since I know I'm not the only person using TestStand wanting an easy way of doing this...

I’m writing from memory because I can’t check it right now. If you’re referring to changes in the names of windows/tabs in SeqEdit.exe, I think there is the DisplayName variable in Execution. You can try using it to change the index. The actual index is in RunState.TestSockets.MyIndex.

I'm not sure on the index the best way. It may be ingrained into the modelsupport dll's using it as an index so just changing it in the sequence might causing indexing issues.

As for the Socket to Slot, those strings are part of the "UIControlOperatorInterfaceStrings.ini": C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 2024\Components\Language\English.

SOCKET_NUMBER = "Socket:"

 //replace with

SOCKET_NUMBER = "Slot:"

Finally got around to trying this, combined with the info here and it works. Goodbye 0-based displays on the UI!
