Can I create a VI to change the 'operator' name on the teststand report?

I want the user to be able to type in a name, as well as other information, in a VI when a test begins. I do not want to create 'users' as I don't know who the testers will be.
I want the user to log in as an administrator (or tester -- any generic login), then type in their name into a VI that pops up when the test is started. I would then like to take their name as a string variable and pass it through to teststand and have it appear in the 'operator' area on the report.
How do i do this?
Thanks in advance!

In your process model, you can modify the Locals.StationInfo.LoginName variable. The default process model does this in the "Get Station Info" subsequence with the expression "Parameters.StationInfo.LoginName = StationGlobals.TS.CurrentUser.LoginName". You could either replace that statement, or add another one after it.
An easy way to create a prompt is with the Message Popup step type. To get input back from the user, edit the step properties and configure the message box. Under the Options tab you can select "Enable Response Text Box". Then you can enter a post-expression like "Parameters.StationInfo.LoginName = Step.Result.Response" to assign the name to the TestStand variable.

  • How can i create a new item in the app "health"?

    how can i create a new item in the app "health"? I need a field for documentation of "Waist-to-height ratio", exactly for "circumference".
    It's a matter of common knowledge, that the Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has more significance then the Body-Mass-Index (BMI).

    If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

  • Can we create 2 inspection lots at the time of goods receipt.

    Hi experts,
         Can we create two inspection lots at the time of goods receipt from vendor.I will assign two inspection types in material master
    suppose 01,02.Both are releated to goods receipt.For one inspection lot when we take usage decision stock should not post into usage decision.for other inspection lot stock has to be posted.Is this possible?if possible how to do configuration?

    I think I made this recommendation in a previous post concerning this but this is exactly what reference operation sets are created for.
    Create the reference operation set for the characteristics that are used for all the materials.  You create this once.
    When you create the sepcific plan for the individual materials, you include the reference operation as one of the operations, (probably the first one in your case).  You don't have to add characteristics, modify or change it.  All the characeristics and settings come from the reference operation.  If you need to make a change you edit the reference operation and make the change once.   The change is immediately seen in all newly created inspection lots.
    In a second operation of the plan, you add the characteristics specific to the material.
    You can add different workcenters to the operations if you want.  That way you can set up security on the workcenters and control who can record results against which operations.
    Aside from creating lots manually, you can't create two lots at the same time from the same GR.

  • Can I create a "play" button in the Tag Inspector extension

    Hello,
    I am creating a Tag Inspector extension for changing the
    properties of a customized swf files.
    Can I create a "play" button in the property panel to preview
    the swf movie?
    I've checked the "Inspectors" folder in the "configuration"
    and cant find the Inspector panel htm of swf object.
    It seems a part of core code of dreamweaver.

    No.  iDVD does not have that feature.  However, there are two ways you can do this: 
    1 - join the 10 segments into one movie file.  It's quite easy if you have Quicktime Pro and Quicktime Player 7.  Other video editing apps can do the job.
    2 - you can create a slideshow in iDVD and add each of the movies to it so they all will play one after another:
    Set the Slide duration to anything but Manual.  Do not select a transition and add no music to the slideshow.
    Remember, the playing time of the entire project should be less than 120 minutes including menu's playing time in order for you to use a single layer DVD disc.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Can't figure out how to change the bottom margins

    This is my 3rd day with a mac and I can't figure out how to change the margins in Pages '09 so that it doesn't include a .5 margin on the bottom.
    I'm using a HP OfficeJet J6450. In the page setup, I changed the "untitled" user defined margins to .1 for top and sides and 0 for the bottom and it still includes a .5 margin on the bottom. Changing the untitled seems to help side margins.
    I've used the inspector to see if there is a setting there that defines the bottom margin as .5 and that doesn't seem to do it.
    If I print borderless, the text boxes that I have a .3 border around don't print on the edges even though they show up on my workspace. It also throws off the top and bottom.
    This is a big assumption, but I assumed that if the workspace and rules show white space and now grayed out, it would print that way. It's not.
    Any ideas? Thanks! Ana
    P.S. I've downloaded & installed updates for everything - OS, iWorks, Printer

    Peggy,
    Maybe this is true of Macs? On my windows systems - I can specify more options on both my printers and can print beyond .5 inches at the bottom. One specific option on my J6450 that I can select is "minimize borders" and it will print about .1 or .2 from the edge. On my mac, I do not have that feature to select. If I print borderless, even though my layout shows it should not go off the paper, once printed it does.
    Thanks.

  • Hi, I recently changed my username for my iTunes/iCloud account. Can anyone tell me how i change the username on my iCloud iPad? When I go onto setting to change it it keeps the username grey so I can't even select it?

    Hi, I recently changed my username for my iTunes/iCloud account. Can anyone tell me how i change the username on my iCloud iPad? When I go onto setting to change it it keeps the username grey so I can't even select it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
    Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
    Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
    Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
    Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

  • Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog

    Not sure I understand the question but it could be because you meant to say "can't" somewhere in the sentence.  anyway, just guessing here:
    Try going to:
    File >> Watch folders
    Now you can Add new folders here that you see them in Windows.  The word ADD is a button to browse for the folders and hopefully this will solve the problem you are having.
