How teststand do version control

Hi Sir, 

How teststand do version control ?

i saw this option, but it is gray.

Normally we use git or SVN method ?

Thanks.

Yes, sadly that menu is very out of date and doesn't support most modern Version Control tools.

Luckily you don't have to configure it from inside TestStand, just use Git/SVN from the File Explorer in your normal way.

For Diffing and merging sequence files, you can set it up to use the built in tool: 

"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\TestStand\FileDifferLauncher.exe" %base %mine

 If you get stuck with that, feel free to mention your Git/SVN Client and someone will have instructions. I have it working nicely on TortoiseGit.

So in short, need the external tool such as git for version control, right ? Thanks.
