NI TestStand
How do I split a teststand sequence file into several sequence files?
Hi Kevin,
you could write a tool to do this (use the sequence builder tool example (teststand\examples) as a road map), but if it's a one off, then the easiest is just to use copy and paste in the sequence editor, or the technique at the bottom of this answer.
I'm assuming that you'd want to effectively have a master sequence file which calls all the sequences (which I'm assuming is what you already have), but instead of them being in the same sequence file, they'll be in their own sequence files, so you could modularise, and call them separately from each other if necessary. You can modify programatically in the hidden step properties if you wanted to automate this, but as I said, if it's a one off, then copy and paste.
Personally, I'd copy the main seque
nce as many times as you have sequences plus one, and then edit each to remove the unwanted sequences later. That way, you can modify the master version first to point to each individual file and sequence without doing the delete to check that you've taken care of everything. Then later on remove the redundant stuff (so you don't go removing functionality first and cause a problem with things like file globals etc. or accidentaly miss an item you need to copy.
Hope that helps
