Batch File to Change Path for Types Palatte

Hello,

 

Is there a way to access the .ini file that goes in the Types Palatte using a batch file. On our test computer we have multiple directories with the same directory structure and sequence file names. But the directories have different codes within it and has different .ini files with the same name in the Types Palatte for similar Custom Data Types variable. Due to this we have a batch file that specifies the path for the configuration file (StationGlobals.ini) that is used based on the needed directory. We do this by updating the "cfglocation" registry key. Similar to the configuration file registry key, is there a similar registry key to change the Types Palatte file based on the particular directory.

 

Path for cfglocation registry key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432NODE\National Instruments\TestStand\5.1"

Hi Shreya,

 

C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand 2020 (64-bit)\Cfg

 

The above folder has the type palette information.Open the typepalettes file.

Hi Ravi,

 

Thank you for your response! I am using TestStand 2013 and there isn't a typepalettes file in the directory mentioned above. Is is stored in some other place for older TestStand versions?

 

Thanks,

Shreya
