Executions UI Control. Is it real?

[Mr._Jim]

Hi folks,

I'm studying for my CTA exam, and I'm looking through a lot of minutia related to TestStand UI Controls.

I know I'm going to sound pedantic...

I'm looking at the TestStand UI Controls Reference Poster, 373423d, August 2012. (seems to be the latest?)

I see under the orange "Manager Controls" section an object called "Executions".

When I attempt to create an Executions UI Control it does not appear to exist. I went back as far as TestStand 2012 SP1, and I couldn't create this object back then.

Is this a real object, or is it a hypothetical that never came to fruition? If it's real, how do I create one?

Thanks as always,

Mr. Jim

I would recommend to use this: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand/page/tsuiref/reftopics/tsuiobjects.htm

Instead of these posters. You will find there that Executions is a collection of Execution objects return by app manager control. So it is not a control but an object that can be returned from a control.

Thanks Michał, that's a much better idea.

How long has that diamond been there erroneously?! 🤔

I'll miss the color coding of the poster, but the article is much more readable on a screen, anyway.

Thanks very much!

Jim

Yes, the diamond seems to be an error. It happens in TS docs. R&D in NI doesn't love TS as much as LabVIEW, I guess.
