How can I set the TestStand Engine tracing options to be on or off through automatically within my sequence file?

[Niraj2810]

Hello,

I am looking for a way, where I do not have to set the Station Options manually. I want to make sure that whenever someone is running my sequence, the sequence should make sure that the "Tracing Enabled" options gets disabled somehow. I know the tracing option is actually a setting of the TestStand engine, but I want to implement it within my sequence.

Please let me know if this is doable. If yes, what will be the best approach?

Thanks and Regards,

Niraj

Depends on why you want to disable tracing. One of these might work for you:

1) Lock the file as not viewable.

2) Set RunState.Tracing to false as the first step in your sequence (still get the first trace message for the sequence though)

3) On sequence calls to the sequence set the sequence call trace setting to disabled. (not enforced though).

Hope this helps,

Thanks!!!

Second option works best for me.
