How can i faster modify the entries in Step Type Menu Editor ?

[OnlyOne]

Hello,

i created some custom tests and actions by copying the original testtype in Types (STRG + T)and liking them to my own DLL.

After coping the name is first "Action_2" which i rename to "Action_Reset".

On the left side i can rightclick on the seqeunce filename and select "Step Type Menu Editor" which opens a small window where my new copied Action is now in the same Group as the original NI-Action.

I created a new Group "Button Add Group) and moved my action into there.

This is what is working.

The problem is that this takes to much time for >300 custom teststeps/actions which have to be sorted into different groups.

So can i make the sorting also in an text-editor? Or is there any other faster way to do this?

Thx

Hello OnlyOne,

adding custom data/step types is possible. Here are some little examples how to deal with the TestStand API:
