Altering the appearance of Parallel UUT Dialog

Hi all
I was hoping someone might be able to help answer a TestStand related question. I am in the process of putting together an ATE system. For simplicity and speed of implementation we have decided to use the unmodified parallel process model with callbacks. The system will test up to 3 different types of UUT’s in parallel.
Depending on a user selection (made in the ProcessSetup callback) any combination of the 3 UUT types could be selected to run.
The system functions perfectly but we were hoping there was a simple way of altering the Parallel UUT Dialog to make the final application more intuitive.
Would any of the following be possible without the need to alter Modelsupport2.dll??
Alter the test socket label from 0,1 or 2 to text that would reflect the UUT type being tested in each socket?
Alter the Status Message to reflect the UUT type being tested?
Any other suggestions.
I am running under windows XP, the version of TestStand in use is 3.5. I am programming with LabVIEW 7.1 I have no experience with C, hence altering the Modelsupport2.dll is not a realistic option.
If anyone has any suggestion of how I could make my application more intuitive please respond.

Ray is correct that the changes to modelsupport2 are fairly simple but you would need to buy CVI in order to do this. I have made some of the same changes. I do almost all of my work in LabVIEW but I also have a CVI license so it was no big deal to me. You could consider writing your own parallel dialog in LabVIEW. For the batch model, I needed a different serial number entry and I wrote that in LabVIEW. It was not an entire replacement of modelsupport2. I just did a custom serial number entry VI and a custom results display VI and put them in the PreBatch and PostBatch callbacks. This was all pretty simple and the parallel mode would be more difficult but it could be done.

How to alter the appearance of Notification in Worklist

I am trying to work out how to alter the appearance of the reponse section of a workflow notification accessed via the worklist.
I have set up three options in a Lookup group. They appear as a row of buttons across the bottom. As a contrast in the PO Approval workflow notification Oracle has the Lookup list as a drop down box with the options.
How is this done, where can I find some documentation?
Thanks,
Michael

HELP ME!!!! .nib replaced by other file to alter the appearance.

One of the .nib files was replaced by another file in the loginwindow.bundle folder, in hopes to alter the appearance of the login & boot-up panels. Now I turn on my iBook G4 to recieve the grey screen with the apple logo in the center and the spinning pinwheel, as well. Next, I see the boot-up panel with the blue background. The message it displays while booting-up is Starting Mac OS X. The animated blue bar moves very, very slowly. When it finally reaches the end, it still animates, but will NOT leave that screen. It was suggested to me that I should consider an archive and install.
When I insert the disks that came with my iBook G4 and hold the option key, I see a blue screen with an icon in the center that looks like the Macintosh HD icon only with a blue X at the bottom, right corner of it. Also, I see a curved arrow on the right, and a straight arrow on the left. The right starts it which doesn' work. The left arrow simply reloads the window. When I insert the disk and hold the "C" key, the computer proceeds to start up as it does in my description above.
HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sweeped the hard drive, and rebooted.

Indesign CS5 is automatically altering the appearance of RGB images on the screen?

I am working on the layout for a plant field guide. The photos are all RGB files and when placed into indesign they appear as they should. However on some pages (pages where there are lots of images) the colour automatically appears as if converted to CMYK. This appearance suddenly applys to the whole page and every image displayed. If I drag one of these images which looks terrible in CMYK to the next page it goes back to looking like it does in RGB.
I have tried changing the colour management of the images in Photoshop and Indesign and saving files as every possible format (jpg, png, tiff, psd, pdf etc). Makes no difference.
When I expert the document to pdf for printing - the same thing has occured. The one page - with lots of images - has generated with the appearance of CMYK but the following page with fewer images still has bright colours (same as the RGB original file). When I print this pdf to a CMYK printer the files print as per the pdf - the page with images which appear in CMYK colour format - look dull and are not true to the flowers colours and the other page prints as per the RGB files - perfectly.
Can anyone tell me how I can override this change in Indesign CS5? It seems to have little to do with the colour management of the images and more to do with the percentage of the page which is RGB colour images.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This is the first time I've posted in a help forum. This solved all my problems. Hopefully I didn't offend to many CMYK inks along the way.
You guys are brilliant.
I am a converted friend.

Creating a custom UUT dialog for the parallel model

Hello,
I am attempting to customize the parallel process model in order to (amongst other things) present a different UUT info dialog. (The default one defined in modelsupport2.dll only presents a single "Serial number" field where I need numerous other ones.) Because I am not familiar with CVI (and don't have the development tools for it), I was hoping to create an ActiveX DLL in Visual Basic, or a .NET assembly to manage a slightly more complex version of the UUT info dialog... While I am sure it would be great fun to fumble with all the complexities of this until it shows some semblance of proper functionality I am hoping there may be some resources available online that would demonstrate how one would go about doing this kind of thing. I've seen LabVIEW code that provides a different UUT dialog, but it was based on the sequential model which circumvents the most complex issues such as synchronizing the dialog with the TestStand threads, etc. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am just posting this in case anyone else runs into the same sort of requirement. The attached zip file contains the source for a .NET assembly that is the beginnings of a VB .NET replacement for the parallel UUT dialog of the modelsupport2 DLL. I don't want to write an epic here, so the general idea is that the parallel model sequence is modified to make calls into this assembly instead of the modelsupport2.dll component. But you can't just disable the dialog by setting the ShowUUTDlg boolean to false - that will completely remove the consumer loop in the ProcessDialogRequests sequence which the .NET assembly is trying to send requests to. I've attached the modified ParallelModel.seq in case anyone's interested.
Note that there are still significant problems with this and it is provided as-is. In particular, if you attempt to break and step through the parallel model sequence after the dialog has been initialized, you will not be able to continue - the main thread will hang until you restart TestStand. With a little more thread mgmt, that could be fixed. If nothing else, it is useful code to look at if you need to enqueue items from a .NET assembly into a queue defined in a TestStand sequence.
If you can afford to use the existing dialog as-is, and then add additional info gathering to the main sequence, that is clearly easier. (That will be OK for my purposes so that is what I'll do.) However, if you need to have one custom dialog that manages everything in the parallel model, this is the kind of code you should expect to need.
Hopefully that helps somebody. There is not much info out there about integrating .NET at this level.

How to customize the appearance of certain font-families?

How can I change the display of certain font-families? Especially I want to change it for the family "Script" (which can for example be seen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font_family_%28HTML%29#Generic_fonts here] ).
I don't know which font is used at the time, but I want to set it to ''Monotype Corsiva''.

Replacing the default Parallel model UUT Dialog

What is the best way to replace the default UUT Dialog for the parallel model? I don't want to modify the default parallel model, but use the callback options in my sequence to replace the default UUT dialog.
Things already tried:
1) Generated a UIR to replace the default UUT dialog.
2) Placed an action to call the new dialog into the PreUUT callback.
3) Created a statement function that change the status to display the default UUT Dialog and place into the ModelOption callback.
This replaced Default UUT Dialog with the new UUT dialog. But the new UUT Dialog panel shows up in four different panel, one for each of the four socket being executed.
The goal is to have the new UUT Dialog appear only once to handle all 4 sockets. The default parallel model initialize the default UUT dialog panel then uses display panel to view UUT dialog. Is there a different method to have the new UUT Dialog panel appear only once for all four socket inputs and not multiple times?

There is an example for this under the directory:
<TestStand>\Examples\ProcessModels\ParallelModel
Edited: Just realized that what you asked is a bit different than the example.
I recommend you try one of 2 possibilities:
1) In addition to disabling the old dialog as shown in the example,
override the ProcessSetup and ProcessCleanup model callbacks and add
your code to display and remove your dialog there (you should probably use a "new thread" sequence call when displaying the dialog so that it has its own thread for message processing). Then also override
the preuut callback and add code to communicate with your dialog in
some way to pass and return the necessary information for each
testsocket. This could be a dll call or some other way of doing this communication.
2) Modify the existing code for the current dialog or implement something similar. The code for the dialog is in the cvi project for modelsupport in the same directory as the process models. If you are going to modify this dll you should copy the Models directory from Components\NI to Components\User and modify the version of it there. The Components\User version will override the version under Components\NI.

I am running Firefox RC.

figured it out:
- power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
- choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)

What is the option of 'parallel' do in alter index.. ?

In the alter index command the option of parallel is there ?
alter index <indexname> parallel <integer>
What exactly does it do ?
PARALLEL integer : Specification of integer indicates the degree of parallelism,
which is the number of parallel threads used in the parallel operation. Each parallel thread may use one or two parallel execution servers. Normally Oracle calculates the optimum degree of parallelism, so it is not necessary for you to specify integer.

Parallel clause if used allows one to break-up a given SQL statement so that its parts can run simultaneously on different processors in a multi-processor machine. Uisng parallel while rebuilding indexes is a good option to fasten up things.But this parallelism should be change back to noparallel or to degree 1(both are same) after rebuilding.When you use parallel clause you can check in the V$session view , many (P000,P001,P002 etc) processes get started, to fasten the query. You can go through through the below link which would be helpful for you.

How do you get the text box text properties dialog box to appear on a MAC?

how do you get the text box text properties dialog box to appear in Adobe Reader XI on a MAC? I know windows is Ctrl-E but can't figure out what to hit for Mac.

Right-click the toolbar and you should find it there (including the short-cut, which is probably Cmd+E).

How to alter the display names of grouped items in a document library?

Very odd issue I want to sort items in a document library by the value in a field, that is no problem. The issue is I want them display NOT in alphabetical order for example I have a list that is grouped into 3 groups (Cases, Forms and Support). When you
look at the page they are grouped in alphabetical order from top to bottom, I want them to show up as (Cases, Support and Forms). I tried creating column with with a value 1,2 or 3 with the "3" value attached to "Forms" items and the "2"
to the "Support" item them sort per Grouped value and that works BUT the grouped names appears as "1" "2" or "3". I need them to show as (Cases, Support Forms).
I was wondering if there is syntax to alter the display name while editing within Designer similar to the syntax used to change the display name of a long hyperlink when quoting it in an email or forum submission??
I want:
<FieldRef Name= "Grouping"/> to diplay the three groups by names other than the values in that column, the display names.

Hi Stephanie,
Unfortunately there is no way to change the text or appearance of this dialog box. You are stuck with it as is.
