Pasting data into TestStand arrays

[McGregorMortis]

Is there really no way to cut-and-paste values from a spreadsheet (or any other source) into an array variable in TestStand? I know I can go the other direction, but that's not helping me right now.

I really don't want to sit here and type in 148 numbers. And I don't want to write a kludgy program to do it using a SequenceFile object.

Surely there must be a better way...

Currently the TestStand sequence editor does not allow you to edit selected properties as you are suggesting. As you said, the only option is to enter them manually, or create a tool that operates on a sequence file and the tool must use a path to the property that you want to edit in some way. Currently the TestStand engine does not allow the sequence editor to specify what the currently selected property is creating a tool must edit the sequence file or step and you must supply the path to the property. We hope to address this in the future.

Thanks for the info. I look forward to it in a future release.

Meanwhile, I worked out a simpler way to do what I need. I used Emacs to process my data into a format like "%[row][col] = value", and pasted it all into the .seq file.

Cheesy, and possibly dangerous, but it saved me from a whole lot of typing.
