Python Step Types for TestStand Now Available!

I needed to install the Python Step Type plug-in to TestStand 2017. I followed the Installation Instructions listed in the NIPythonStepTypes.pdf, and yet, TestStand's NI_Python Steps had "String not found in the language resources file" for each step (e.g. Python Step - Action, Python Step - String Value Test, etc).

 

It looks like the PDF may need to be updated to include a step where the <TestStandPublic>\Components\Language\English directory has the two files (CustomStrings.ini, NIPythonStepTypeStrings.ini).  I had two TestStand folders -- the one in Program Files x86 and the one in \Users\Public\…\National Instruments\…  I copied those files from the Public\…\National to the Program Files x86 National Instruments' TestStand folder. 

 

Adding it here in case others come across the same issue if the pdf isn't updated or the installation went awry for them.
