It's that time of year again. What will the next installment of the LAVA/OpenG BBQ bring? One thing is for sure - door prize galore! Past prizes have included (just to name a few): home-made creations, gift-cards, tablets, books, Ipods, LabVIEW goodness, software and even a plane-ride. We accept anything - so feel free to be creative! By donating a prize you and your company will receive free advertising in this thread. But wait, it doesn't stop there! When your donation is drawn on the night, you may take center stage and embrace fame thrust upon on you by the loving crowd who are anxious to have their ticket drawn from Crelf's stunningly good-looking akubra. So what are you waiting for? Check out the cool prizes below (knowing there will be more added to this thread as NIWeek approaches). If you would like to donate (please do, we really appreciate the LAVA-love) feel free to add a prize below or PM me with the details and I'll do it. If you haven't already get your 2012 LAVA/OpenG BBQ tickets here!

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you can display the sequence file hierarchy for a sequence file in a TestStand project (or even outside of a project) to see (non-dynamic) callers of sequences at edit time. From a sequence file in a TestStand project, right-click>>Display File Hierarchy; or just from an open sequence file: View>>Sequence File>>Display File Hierarchy.

Fair enough. I know I spent some time looking for it too. I've since decided it doesn't exist and have instead focused on developing practices that facilitate easy refactoring as requirements change.
