Auto-Update TestStand library call linkage

[LuI]

Hi,

I have a rather large project for testing multiple medical device types. I've put some 'more basic' functions into my model.seq and some device class specific functionality into an intermediate lib 'GTM-UUT_Tools.seq'. My final test seq is the third sequence file and the one to start.
When changing the name of a subsequence, its callers from _within_ the very same sequence file are automatically updated. But all calls from other sequence files are still at their old values, resulting in an error 'step not found' when started. This is independent from that other sequence file being loaded or not.

Is there any better way to auto-update those link information or to get a list of bad lingage or a list of potential errors due t
o name changes etc?

LabVIEW does an autoupdate on all open VIs when changing one of the deeper SubVIs. And it provides an error list.

TIA and

Uwe -
TestStand does not have a specific feature to address the renaming of sequence and updating other sequences that are loaded at a later time.

I do not know what version you have, but TestStand 3.0 does have advanced find and replace options that allow you to search multiple sequence files for values. You could search for the sequence name and limit the search to sequence call steps. The find and replace result window lists all the possible changes to make

Scott,

thx for your quick reply!
I've got TS3. You did suggest what I usually do. But as I said, LabVIEW is much more helpfull in such a case. So I thought I could ask - maybe I just did not find that setting ;-))
