Porting TestStand Sequence from lower version to Higher version

[Karumanchi]

Hi,

I am trying to open a TestStand sequence developed in TestStand Version2013 and LabVIEW Version2015. When I open a sequence in teststand, in TestStand Version2017 and with LabVIEW version2018 it is asking to reload the VIs. It showing exclamatory mark even though I load/provide the path for the VI. The same is happening even if I save the VIs in LV2018 and load in Teststand. Provide me a solution.

What do you mean with "showing an exclamation mark"? Are the VIs "not found"?

If so, my guess is that you had a search directory configured in your previous TS version which you haven't in the new one...

[Karumanchi]

Yeah...VI not found. Also I have added the folder path to the search directory. I have done update VI calls also

Never seen TestStand to fail to find modules if search directories are configured correctly. Make sure that your entry fits to the relative paths of the modules.

Example:

Search Directory:

C:\temp

Relative Paths:

Modules\DAQ\AI.vi

Modules\DAQ\DO.vi

This will find both VIs if they are located in C:\temp\Modules\DAQ\ each.

If you configured the Search Directory to:

C:\temp\Modules

TestStand will not be able to find the VIs as they are searched for in C:\temp\Modules\Modules\DAQ....

Also make sure that the search directory (if correct) is enabled by making sure that the checkbox is marked.

EDIT: Another item might be "Include Subdirectories" checkbox...

Some of the VIs are loaded automatically and some of them didn't. But it is ok that it is loading when I provide path. Thank you Norbert.
