TestStand Sequence Editor Visual Design Updates

TestStand 2020 introduces a streamlined visual design to the TestStand Sequence Editor. In addition to cosmetic changes, the sequence editor has the following changes:

  • By default, the sequence editor toolbar now only displays buttons that are global in scope. Buttons that provide functionality restricted to a single window or pane are now located in the relevant window or pane.
  • Panes or tabs that provide configuration options for a single window are fixed to the relevant window.
  • On the Steps pane, steps now have syntax highlighting. The icon color for a step indicates which type of step it is.

  • Pass COM objects between TestStand and Python code modules.
  • Map enums in TestStand to enums in Python code modules.
  • Map arrays of numbers in TestStand to NumPy arrays in Python code modules.
  • Include or exclude subproperties of a container of a named data type when passing it between TestStand and a Python code module.
  • Enter either an individual file or a directory as a code module path for the Python Adapter
