Operator Interface Entry point buttons disappear

[DKA]

When I run either the CVI or LabVIEW example user interfaces with Teststand, the Entry point and Run sequence buttons disappear immediately after login. It appears calling the subVI Simple OI - Configure SequenceFileView Manager.vi causes the buttons to disappear using the LabVIEW version. 

Any ideas why I’ve tried reinstalling Teststand  (version 3.50). The Operator interfaces have not been modified.

Hi Dave

I have just ran the same example on my machine using LabVIEW 8.20 and TestStand 3.5, the entry point and run sequence buttons do not disappear on mine but are instead renamed to represent - "Test UUTs, Single Pass and RunMainSequence". Is this the same occurance in your case or are the buttons not there at all?

Thanks for your responses.

I have installed and run this on four machines. Two worked as expected – changing the button text as described. On the other 2 the buttons just vanish. I have tried re installing TS 3.5 and LV 8.2 on one of these systems. I deleted the directory structure after uninstalling TS before re installing. I still get the same behaviour. I have tried running from the LV exe, the LV llb and the CVI exe. All produce the same results, the buttons disappear making the UI unusable. 

I am using the default administrator no password login.

One reason they might disappear is if you don't have a process model or if you have loaded a file that specifies it does not use a process model.

Make sure your Model settings are the same as on the computers that work (Configure>>Station Options>>Model Tab). Then load examples\demo\c\computer.seq.

Are the buttons still invisible?

Thanks for the info James.

I'll try that on Thursday whan i next visit that customer. I'll post how I get on.

Thanks for the responses. I can’t replicate the problem today, if it reappears I will repost more information here.

I had the exact same problem after upgrade to TS3.5 and LV8.2 using the LV operator interface.  The process model seems to load (shows up in the gutter) but there are no buttons for the entry points and the entry points do not show in the Execute menu.  However, when I open a sequence file, the buttons reappear.  This must be a new feature.

The buttons are only visiible when their functionality makes sense.  Until there is a sequence file open, you cannot run an execution entry point.

Also, there are several configuration options for entry points that can be set. These are available by getting the Properties of hte Entry Point Sequence in the Process Model. I've attached a link to seperate post on the topic here: http://forums.ni.com/attachments/ni/330/14616/1/EntryPoint.jpg
