error opening TestStand 4.1.1: ParameterName SplitterDistance

[Ch_pt]

Hi,

my TestStand Sequence Editor cannot be opened any more.

The error

"Sequence Editor

 Der Wert -2147483648 ist für die SplitterDistance ungültig. SplitterDistance muss größer als 0 sein.

Parametername: SplitterDistance"

occurs and everything in the menu is grayed out. (e.g. I cannot login)

The following actions were ineffective:

-Reboot of computer

-New installation of teststand

-Function "Reparieren"(Repair Software) in the Measurement & Automation Explorer

-Deinstallation of TestStand and new installation

Thanks for help

Try renaming the sequence editor layout file before launching the sequence editor. It is located the local appdata directory.

On Vista/Windows 7:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\National Instruments\TestStand 4.1.1\layout_current.bin

On Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\National Instruments\TestStand 4.1.1\layout_current.bin

If this solves the problem, please attach your layout file, if possible, to help us debug the issue.

Hope this helps,

-Doug

Thank you very much, this solved the problem. 🙂

The layout file is attached. (I is renamed into .txt because attaching a .bin file was not allowed)

Thanks
