OK, where are the StationGlobals Variables file stored at. I'm having to copy a Testand Sequence to another PC and now I discover that my StationGlobals are missing...
Who is the wise guy that made StationGlobals part of the Station and not the Sequence?

Originally, TestStand saves the station global variables in the StationGlobals.ini file in the <TestStand Application Data>\Cfg directory automatically when you close the TestStand Engine.
I can find my Station global variable in <<C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\TestStand 2017 (32-bit)\Cfg>>
I attached related link:http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052T-01/tsfundamentals/infotopics/station_global_variable...
And as I know, Station Global Variables is not recommended. The reason is that when you move the file to another computer as you do now, you have to move .ini file as well. I would like to ask if you have any reason to use global variables.

I inherited another Teststand program written by someone else. So I don't know the reason they were using StationGlobals, all I noticed is when I copied that Teststand Program to another PC the Station Globals variables were missing. So all I really need to do is copy the StationGlobals.ini file to the new PC's ...\Teststand 2017\... Path and that should fix the problem.
