[Berezka]

Hello,

What is the easiest/best way to copy TestStand configuration from one development station to other?

Thanks is advance

Hi Berezka,

You need to be copying all the types if any modification is made as Custom step types.

StationGlobals are packaged in INI file,hence if some static variables are created you need to copy that too.Process Model and support file @ \\Components\user\Model will be another location to look for if you have customized process model.

Thanks, VDC.

The only way is to copy each changed configuration file separately, right?

Berezka,

I often find it helpful to copy the entire Cfg directory. Here is some info from the Reference manual:

" 

<TestStand Application Data> Directory

TestStand installs the <TestStand Application Data> directory.

This directory is hidden by default and contains configuration files users

generally do not edit but an application can edit. The directory includes the

Cfg subdirectory, which contains configuration files for TestStand Engine,

TestStand Sequence Editor, and TestStand User Interface options, as

shown in Table 8-5. You might need to deploy these files to a target

Setup Support files for the TestStand installer.

Tutorial Sequences and code modules you use in tutorials in this manual, the Using

TestStand manual, the Using LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI with

TestStand manual, and the NI TestStand Evaluation Guide.

UserInterfaces Copies of the LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual Basic,

C#, and C++ (MFC) user interfaces with source code installed in the

<TestStand>\UserInterfaces directory.

Hope this helps,
