IVI Power Supply Step in TS3 does not hold configured settings?

Hi all,

I try using IVI Power Supply steps to control my AG E3646A power supplies. Have set 'em up properly in MAX and they did operate without problems.
What I investigated was that there must be some inheritand wizard or so doing configurations whenever one edits such a step. I do some configurations, for example to use a channel name and voltage level as provided in parameters. When I that step this is the last that could be seen on the edit window, before it closes. But if one re-edits this step these settings have been chnaged to some default, e.g "Channel1" as channel and 1 as voltage level.
I circumvented this by assigning the correct parameters in the Pre-Expression of that step.

Is this a b
ug or is something wrong with my installation?

In TestStand 3.0, if you use the Browse button (...) on the IVI controls to specify the value of an expression, in some instances the value is not confirmed properly with the control, so the old value is still used. If you type in the control after the value appears from using the Browse Expression dialog box, I believe that the problem does not occur. This problem has been fixed in TestStand 3.1. If this is not the case please let me know.
