How to I xfer TestStand 1.0.3 type palette & station global entries to TestStand 2.0 after installation?

I installed TestStand 2.0 alongside TestStand 1.0.3 as we still have to
support customers with TestStand 1.0.x. As such TestStand 2.0 did not
upgrade or import my TestStand 1.0.3 type palette and station globals. I
can't seem to simply copy and paste between the TS 1.0.3 and TS 2.0 Sequence
Editors and I don't want to futz with the .ini files. We have a ~lot~ of
customizations I'd rather not re-enter by hand unless absolutely necessary.

Is there a way "after the fact" to import/xfer TestStand 1.0.3 type palette
and station globals (etc) into TestStand 2.0?

Any help would be appreciated.

Bob.

I see two options so far:

1. You could copy/drag-drop the types and globals to a sequence file under TS 1.0.3. Save it. Reload in TS 2.0 and copy back to palette and globals.

2. Uninstall TS 2.0, copy 1.0.3 to the empty directory, reinstall 2.0.

That worked, at least on what I've tried so far. Thanks!

Bob,

All you will need to do is copy the StationGlobals.ini file and the appropriate type palette ini files (located in the \Cfg\TypePalettes folder) to the following location in the TestStand 2.0 directory structure:

\Cfg

The upgrade from version 1.0.3 to 2.0 will happen automatically.

Best Regards,
Ryan Wynn
