Difference between TS 4.1.1 and TS 4.2 sequence file

[krishna_ak]

Hi,

   I have developed sequence files using TS 4.1.1. Now I'm upgraded with TS 4.2.When ever I opened  my sequence file which is develoed using TS 4.1.1 and save it then TS 4.2 saves as  TS 4.1.1 files as file_Old.seq and renames current file.

Now my question is what are the changes TS 4.2 done to my sequence file.

I hope question is clear. If not please let me know..

Cheers,

krishna

Krishna,

i am not sure what exact changes are done, but i can tell you why TestStand requires to "resave" the file:

As part of the file, the version of TestStand, which was used to create the file, is saved as well. So in the 4.1.1 sequence file, somewhere is an entry "TestStand 4.1.1". If you open the file using TS 4.2, this entry is updated to be "TestStand 4.2". So you have at least this change....

There might be other changes in the file since TS 4.2  introduced new features, e.g. attributes for objects.

hope this helps,

Norbert
