CustomStrings.ini replacement in TestStand 2016

[mrbean]

I am trying to update some TestStand code that I originally created in TestStand 3.5.  In that test solution, there was use of a file named CustomStrings.ini.  I used it to override

[TSUI_OI_MAIN_PANEL]
ENTRYPOINT1 = "ATP Test"
ENTRYPOINT2 = "Debug"

I have two questions:

1) I thought the items placed in CustomStrings.ini were used to add your own strings or override the strings in TestStandStrings.ini.  However, I don't see ENTRYPOINT1/2 in TestStandStrings.ini.  It has been a while since I've looked at this code, so I'm trying to figure out why I don't see this.

2) I think CustomStrings.ini is not even used anymore in TestStand 2016, so item#1 may be moot, but I'm wondering what the new approach is to get custom strings introduced?

1) I think you want to look in ModelStrings.ini for the process model string stuff.  Under the MODEL section you will find the Test UUTs and Single Pass entry point names.

2) It doesn't matter what the name of your ini file is.  It just matters what location it is in.  <TestStand Public>\Components\Language or any of its sub folders.  That's how I understand it and use it anyway.

Hope this helps,

In addition to what jigg said, the CustomStrings.ini can actually be found in <TestStand Public>/Components/Language/English (or whatever language you're using). I just checked for TS 2017, can't 100% confirm for 2016 though.
