AutomationParameter Type Conflict

[kewsvnet]

Hi Guys,

I have been trying to use a custom station model with a sequence file however whenever I open it I get a AutomationParameter Type Conflict Error Code: -17329 Source: TSAPI as shown in the picture attached. I can normally solve other type conflicts by just making sure the 2 Types are the same in both sequences however in this case I can't really see where the types are to even compare them. Any help would be appreciated

Regards

Kewal -

You may want to use the Type Differ tool that is included in the TestStand Toolkit - Large Application Development that is available on ni.com/labs. This tool can be very helpful in merging the types in a number of different files to the same definition as the types defined in a master file that you specify.

Hope this helps.

I tried the Type Differ tool, however it always encounters an error when opening for some reason. Is there any other way to resolve the automation parameter type conflict?

Cheers

I seem to have solved the issue. By loading the sequence with the type conflict, and then opening the Type Palette, the Type Palette actually shows a (*) in the title showing it has been modified however it does not automatically ask to be saved when closing TestStand, therefore you must manually save it. And that seems to resolve the problem.

That's interesting behavior. What version of TestStand are you using?

This was happening on version 2.01 of TestStand which I know is really old, but since we have a lot of old code I have to use it just to avoid things changing.
