Is it possible to hide the save function and only use the save as function in teststand

Hi,
When i'm done building a sequence i want to prevent other engineers to save the sequence with the same filename (or version number).
Is it somehow possible to "hide" the save button and only use the save as function?
Or is there another possiblity to solve my problem.
The idea is to have a sequence called Sequence_V1.0.seq which i have build. When installing this in a factory enviroment I would like whenever there is a change needed in the sequence that the version number increases (manual action) (becomes Sequence_V1.1.seq). So from the moment you want to save i would like to only have the function save as. In this way you are obligated to fill in a new sequence name (original sequence will be read-only)
What would even be great if there could be a log of what the changes were
Thx!!! 

1) You could mark the file as read-only, by default you would then not be able to save over it. The user could make it not read-only though if they know what they are doing.
2) Another possibility is to lock the sequence file for editing (this is a teststand feature). Go to the Sequence File Property dialog, on the advanced tab, where it says Password Protection, set it to Not Editable and give it a good password. This doesn't however keep someone from saving another file to the same name as the locked one, but they at least won't be able to saved the locked file again without your password, nor will they be able to edit it.
Hope this helps,
-Doug

  • What are the steps to make it seamless for a customer to use the install program and then use the installed program?

    I wrote an install program (.exe) that is downloaded from a website.  When run, it 1) leads a customer to browse to a directory, and 2) copies files (.exe, .dll, etc.) from a website to that directory.  When I run, the installed program works.

    This site https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/2kt85ked%28v=vs.110%29.aspx provides a basic description of the Visual Studio Windows Installer. 
    Near the bottom of the page is "You can unlock all the features of InstallShield by paying to upgrade to the full version of InstallShield."  Where do I find info that describes the differences between the "free" and the "full"
    versions?

    Hello,
    The default feature does support the task for your requirement, so there is no need to pay for the other features unless you want to use some feature which is not free.
    In addition, as this thread
    InstallShield LE not available with VS 2012 RTM? shared, even through there is a link to InstallShield LE in the New Project dialog under Deployment solutions, but it belongs to third-party that I would recommend you consider posting this issue
    at the following forum to get supports about InstallShield.

  • I updated my LG G3 this week and now it SUCKS!  When I'm connected to WIFI, nothing on Facebook works.  The photos and videos won't populate.  I have to turn off the WIFI and only use the mobile data. Not to mention, I really hate the way it looks now.

I hope it's soon.  I'm thinking of changing providers now.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • CANCEL- Can I chat or talk with a human on the phone?  I have an Adobe ExportPDF Annual.  So, if I cancel today, I still have to pay half of the fee?  I only used the service once or twice.

    I expected to be canceled in a few short minutes via a phone call.  Instead of have been in this endless and frustrating loop to this forum.

  • I updated to the latest version and now I do not have the page controls at the right hand side and bottom and can only move the page up and down using the mouse scroll wheel. I also cannot see the whole page I am trying to view.

    When I open the web browser I cannot see the whole page and I cannot move the image sideways and must use the mouse scroll to move up and down.

    I Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
    I Am using a Macpro though.
    i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
    However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback.

  • I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone but it only recognizes the first one and only produces the firts one in a DVD. How can I drop all three  movie clips into one drop zone

    On IDVD, I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone to create a DVD but it only recognizes the first one I dropped and only produced the first one in a DVD. How can I drop all three  movie clips into one drop zone.

    I have had some luck doing the following: Export each clip from imovie as a quicktime clip. Open iDVD and create a new project. Import a few stills into iDVD and then click on the button that gets created to get into the screen where the individual slides appear. Drag each quicktime into that screen and arrange in the order you want. You can then delete the stills. The button that appeared when you dropped in the stills will launch a complete show.

  • I have transferred itunes and library using home sharing.  How do I 'turn off' the old computer and just use the new one?  home sharing requires both to be on at the moment.

    I have transferred my itunes content and playlists to a new computer using home sharing.  Now I want to use my new computer only, so need to 'turn off' the old one.   What do i do?

    Hello shiv99,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have used Home Sharing to play the music from one computer on another, but now you would like to only use the new computer. It sounds as though you have set up the content to share between computers, but have not actually I’m ported the media from the old computer to the new one. I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to import you music from the old computer to the new one. After that process is complete, you can turn off Home Sharing if you would like and the content will be in the iTunes library on your new computer.

    Have a great day,

  • Is it possible to hide "Erase All Content and Settings" using Apple Configurator?

    How we can hide "Erase All Content and Settings" button from iPod devices using Apple Configurator? we have purchased these devices under enterprise deployment.

    not at all. for the moment we handle this problem by writing an image everytime we (think we) have to update the itunes u content. an update becomes necessary when users give us the iPad back and we recognize that there is good new stuff on it or whenever colleagues tell us to do so.
    With a new rollout of this image we offer new itunes u content on our iPads.

  • Removing the x64 version and only having the x86 - possible?

    anyone know if i can get rid of the x64 version and go back to only having the 32bit version?
    ~if this were /. this sig would be funny

    "If you mean switch from 64 bit to 32 bit, this is impossible. You would have to completely reinstall
    Windows to change to a 32 bit flavor."
    i'm not trying to change my system architecture. only the version that windows uses as a default for IE.
    "short answer: To
    ensure legacy 32-bit applications continue to work the same way they used to without imposing ugly rules on 64-bit applications that would create a permanent mess. And at the same time, 64 bit application could work more efficiently."
    i don't understand that as an answer, short or otherwise.
    and now that i'm reading Fahad's answer, i'm realizing that he ALSO thought i wanted to change my system
    architecture. that's not it at all.
    to reiterate my problem:
    IE will not export reports from our SSRS using MY 32 bit version, which is the default (obviously, because
    you can't SET the x64 version as default). other people in the office with the same IE 32bit version 11.0.9600.17358IS can export just fine. if i copy and paste the URL from my non-working, 32bit IE into the x64 version of IE, the reports export just fine.
    so i'm trying to figure out whats going on and how to fix it. it seems i have to reinstall windows since
    MS has somehow figured out how to bind IE to kernel or some other deep rooted nonsense.
    "Thanks for your trust."
    hey, you've earned it ;)

  • HT204053 how can i delete an older apple ID and only use the new one?

    how can I delete an old Apple account and transfer it to a new one?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can delete an existing account from your device and create a new one and start using it. But I'm not sure what you mean by transfer.

  • Is there any way to accept the apple terms and conditions using the website or any other ways that are not flawed to being unusable?

    I have tried using the set in system of trying to update an app and being prompted to agree, but every single time  Apple's gay system keeps telling me that my session has timed out and I should try again. I have tried multiple times to have it sent by email, but every one of those show up as "there was an error and email failed. Please try again.". I signed in on the website and was prompted to agree to the terms and I did, but Apple still will not let me dowload/update apps. Is there any way to get to a part of a website that lets you agree to the terms? If not, is there any fool-proof way that I can do it or a solution to the session timing out issue?

    Try resetting your device.
    If that fails, Reboot, Reset, Restore.

    you can try to write some web driver to do this particular job for you, one such driver is Selenium. know more about it at https://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list.
    But this thing will need a good programming skill. Otherwise you have Adblock plus addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/), you can try this. you can also contact its developer to include this particular facility also in this add on
