Hello everyone,
Total noob here. I am working on a testing system we developed in order to test current ratios for electrical transformers. We have a working program and everything is working properly so I am trying to prepare the system for use on our production floor. I would prefer to keep the main program (.Vee) safe so I want to convert it to a runtime file (.vxe)
I went through the steps to make a secured vxe and it works properly, when I open the vxe it starts running the testing. When the testing is done I click OK and the program closes. Is it possible to make the program stay open so I can test multiple transformers without having to re open the file every time? If not would my best option be to just let the employees use the vee file on the floor and just make sure I have a copy saved somewhere safe?
Thanks
Nick

When your VEE program finishes / stops, that's when the vxe exits so the solution is to keep the program running.
As a simple example ( in text! I can attach a VEE example if it's not clear )
Until Break[Flow -> Repeat object] --->
your program code ---> OK/test next[button]
that will stop at the OK button ( as it sounds like you have at the moment, probably to show the results ) and then start at the beginning after you press OK.
Typically you might have an 'initialisation' block before the Until Break that only needs to be run once at the start.
Then you add a second OK button ( not attached to anything else ), rename it Close or Quit or whatever you prefer:
Close[renamed OK button] --->
Stop[Flow -> Stop object]
Obviously the Close button must be added to your user panel. This will close the vxe when enough transformers have been tested.
