Sequence files documentation in TestStand 4.0.1

[Jooon]

How can I generate sequence files documentaton in TestStand 4.0.1 for all sequences from particular workspace (tests suite) in automatic way? Is there any seqence already written or mayby TestStand 4.0.1 provides some extention of sequence files documentation tool known from TestStand 3.x

Hi,

If the current documentation tool find on the Tools menu doesn't met your requirements, then the source can be found in TestStand\Components\NI\Tools and its a SequenceFile called DocGen.seq

Yes, you're right. By this sequence I can "customize" the process but I have no idea how generate documentation for all sequences at ones. Thank you in advance for any suggestion...

It's not trivial, but if you look at the ForEach.seq tool sequence (Components\NI\Tools\ForEach.seq) you can use that as an example of enumerating all .seq files under a particular directory and performing an operation on them. That tool opens and resaves all the sequence files under a particular directory. With some work it could be made to generate sequence file documentation instead. Also I think there's a sequence in ForEach.seq that you could call to get back an array of all sequence files' absolute paths under a particular directory which you could then loop on and call into the documentation sequence with.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Just to add to Doug's comments.

If your SequenceFiles are not in the same location, you will have to obtain the path for the sequence file from the actual SequenceCall step.
