Customizing sequence views on multiple PC's

[GeekGrok]

I have customized the execution view of my sequence editor to display test step limits (hi and low), and module execution time.

I would like to know how to "copy" these settings to another test system (PC), without having to go through the manual process of setting up the view on each test station PC?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello Jim,

You should be able to copy userinterface.xml file to your target computer. This can be found by navigating to C:\Users\<Windows User Name>\AppData\Local\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1.

You would then place this file in the same directory on the target computer.

What Adam posted will work for a User Interface, if however, you are wanting to do this for the sequence editor, I think the sequence editor saves this setting in the layout file. There is a current_layout.bin file in the same directory as specified above. Or you can use the Sequence editor options dialog - UI Configuration tab to save and load specific configurations. It saves the layout files to a directory underneath the cfg directory (usually either C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1\Cfg\SeqEdit or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1\Cfg\SeqEdit depending on your OS).

Hope this helps,

How do I do this for all users of that machine? We have quite a few users and I don't want to have to manually add this file for every one of them. I appreciate any help here.

Thanks,

Hello Charles,

I believe the only way you are going to be able to do this is to copy the userinterface.xml file for all of your users. It does not look like there is one location that the file can be saved in that TestStand can access.
