Is it possible to have setup instructions open automatically when autorun file is loaded

Hello,

I have added inspection post load batch files to each main Zeiss program folder that automatically opens the setup instructions when the main program file first loads in the main Calypso software.  Unfortunately, this does not work when using Autorun.

When using a multiple station pallet, it extremely important to have the instructions open right away in order to assist the operator in loading the parts to be measured correctly into each pallet location, and to be able to X out any pallet locations that will not have a part loaded.

Currently with Autorun, the setup instructions look to open only with the "Force measurement run information at CNC start" box checked in the Measurement Plan Definition.

With the box checked, it requires the Run icon to be clicked by the operator for the instructions to load and open. 

The setup instructions will load and open automatically after Run is clicked, but that is too late as it now requires the operator to perform extra steps that should not be needed.

The main issue I see is with the CNC Run Stopped screen that opens when Run is clicked:

This screen being open blocks access to turn on/off the pallet locations.  The only way to get back to the pallet is to Cancel Run, which causes the stoplight to turn red. 

This in turn forces the operator to have to reset the stoplight to green in order to continue.

While it is good that the setup instructions are now open and the operator can now follow these to load the parts into the pallet locations (and turn off any location not used), it requires needing to again click the Run icon, have the CNC Run Stopped screen pop up again, then click Continue Run to finally bring up the input parameter screen for the active pallet locations and get the program to actually start measuring parts.

This should not have to be so complicated just to get setup instructions to load right away when the Autorun file is loaded.  

I have searched through this forum for a workaround but have been unsuccessful.  The only hints I have found are tied to PCM, which I do not have.

I need setup instructions to load right away when the Autorun file first loads.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
