Update Step Types

[bruno_p]

Hi,

I want to add a property and a pre-step to the NumericLimitTest step type.
I have already developped some sequence files and I want to update them easily.

How can I do that ? (I use TestStand 3.1)

Hi,

The best way would be to make a copy of the NI NumericLimitTest step type. When you try to edit the NI NumericLimitTest step type it forces you to create a copy (unless of course you have the 'Allow Editing of NI Installed Types' enabled in the Sequence Editor Options, I wouldn't advise doing this). If this has been enabled then you would be able to do what you like the the installed step types.

Once you have you own version of the NumericLimitTest step type.

Make your changes to it. Once you are happy with the changes.

Open your SequenceFile and use the Replace tool in the Edit menu to change the steps using the NI NumericLimitTest step type to use your version. You will then have to edit each of the steps in your sequencefile to change the new properties, you have added, from any default values to actual values.

Hope this helps
