Is it possible to sort or filter the switch routes under the switching tab?

[Guy04]

In Teststand 3.1, is it possible to filter the switch routes under the switching tab in Action Properties?  Since I have a large amount of routes that have been created in Switch Executive, how can I filter out some of the routes from the "Routes to Connect" section?

The TestStand Switching does not provide any inherent filtering capabilities.  You do have a couple of options, however.

(1)  NI-Switch provides the ability to set up route connections in different groups.  The Switch Page in TestStand allows you to select Routing groups as well as specific Routes.  It may be easier for you to organize your Connections as groups and choose between different groups.

(2)  The Property page also allows you to build route connection string and use that string  for your Switching actions.  It may be easier for you to build a Route string and easily change that string rather than selecting your routes everytime from within the TestStand window.

Good Luck!
