[Al.B]

I am pleased to announce that the TestStand 2013 Beta has officially begun!  I encourage you to sign up to see all of the exciting new features of TestStand 2013. A full list of all new features will be available in the beta documentation, which will be available once you sign up for the beta. 

To sign up for the NI TestStand 2013 Beta Program, complete the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Beta Program resource center (http://www.ni.com/beta) select TestStand 2012 from the list of software, and click Submit
2. Complete the beta application.  This information helps us to understand what features of NI TestStand are most important to our customers.  Please ensure that you read and accept the Terms and Conditions of the beta program so that you can be approved.
3. After you submit your request, please be patient with us as we process your application.  Once the beta begins, you will receive an email with further information. Once you are approved, navigate to the program resource center (http://www.ni.com/beta) to access the Beta software. 
   
   Registration does not necessarily guarantee you a position in the beta program. Determination of acceptance into the program is up to the sole discretion of National Instruments.

As with previous Beta programs, The TestStand 2013 Beta program will use a private discussion forum specifically for the Beta. Once approved for the Beta, you will shortly after gain access to this forum from http://forums.ni.com/. Please direct any conversations/comments/questions regarding the TestStand 2012 Beta to this private forum only. Please do not use this forum for any communication regarding the Beta.
