Is it possible to start TestStand to automatically load with a custom environment

Solved!

Hi,

 

I've created my own TestStand environment file:

But every time I open TestStand, it defaults to <Global> environment. And I have to open Configure --> Environment to change to my own environment, and press Set Engine Environment, which you then you have to wait for it to basically restart.  It's a time consuming effort every time you want to start TestStand!

 

Is it possible to change it so that it defaults to using my own custom environment?

 

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Hi Christopher,

 

I had similar problem and my solution (or rather a workaround) was to change shortcut target to:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 2019\Bin\SeqEdit.exe" /env "MY PATH TO .tsenv file"

This is not a workaround this is actually how NI expects you to do it.  I opened a support ticket with them in the past and this was exactly how they instructed me to do it.
