Hi all,
Any help greatly appreciated! I would like to hide all unnecessary step parameters from the factory technician. Any suggestions?
For example, suppose the factory technician is editing the test sequence and needs to modify the power supply COM port:
Step Name: Connect to Power Supply
Parameters:
In this example, the technician may need to modify the COM Port (1).
But the technician should not mess with the other parameters (2-4) and I’d like to hide them.
This is a simplified example. Some steps can be very confusing for the technician.
Thoughts…
I see we can hide variables, but not step parameters.
I see we can load parameters and/or settings from a separate file using the Property Loader. This will suffice, but it’s klunky.
Thanks again!
Solved! Go to Solution.

It sounds to me that the module is fixed.
If so, you should consider custom step type generation and add the module as substep module (pre or post). Adding an edit substep allows you to make modifyable parameters easily accessible for the developer.

Thanks! I'll go learn about custom step types.
