what information should be added to a workspace file in teststand 3

I have recently upgraded from Teststand 2 to version 3. I am trying to distribute a runtime sequence and am having some difficulty with the new Teststand 3 deployment utility. Can anyone tell me exactly what i should be putting into the workspace file in order to create a working runtime sequence?

Cheers,

Dave

The first thing to do is to create a new workspace, then right click on the workspace name, then select Add Project to Workspace. Right click on the new project name and select Add Files to Project. Here you can add your main sequence, all subsequences, your VIs, DLLs, any special files that you would want to distribute with your install package. I usually create an LLB file that contains all VIs that I have created. All sub-vi's that are called by my VIs (like GPIB functions, low level file functions, etc) are automatically included in the package. You can include special files like text files or ini files that your program will use. Add them all to the project. Save the workspace file. When you build the project using Deploy TestStand System, make sure you ch
eck the box next to Deploy Files from TestStand Workspace File, and navigate to the workspace you just created.
