TestStand 4.0 compatibility with TestStand 3.5

[WillyC]

Hi,

I do a lot of coding in TestStand 4.0 at my desktop, but my test station in the lab runs TestStand 3.5, so I have lots of issues with sequence file versions and compatibility between the two locations. Is there a good strategy to help with this? Right now I "Save As..." all my 4.0 files as 3.5 files manually before going down to the station, but it's a bit of a pain. Is there some kind of version switcher tool in TestStand 4.0?

Thanks!

Hi,

There is a version switching utility but its to set the active version if you have multiple versions on one system.

The answer to your problem is simple, use one version.

If you have to maintain TS3.5 because of business needs then put both versions on your test system. Then you can use the version switching tool to set it to TS4 while you try you new sequences out. Then you can switch it back to TS3.5 then you are done.
