TestStand: Create Sequence Group

Solved!
Go to solution

Can I create a sequence group in TestStand sequence similar to the "Setup", Main", and "Cleanup" goups?

I'd like to have a sub group in these top level groups and use them like "#region" is used in C#.

This is not possibe.  You can only have 3 step groups and they are defined for you. 

 

What is your reason for doing this?  Maybe there is a better way to accomplish your goal.

Grouping actions and sequences would be greatly appreciated! I have quite some big sequences and subsequences, with groups I could easily step to the correct code part:

Now it is like this

  • LIN READ
  • LIN WRITE
  • LIN READ
  • LIN WRITE
  • ....
  • LIN READ
  • LIN WRITE
  • LIN READ
  • LIN WRITE

but I would prefer this:

  • configuration
    • LIN READ
    • LIN WRITE
    • ...
  • calibration
    • LIN READ
    • LIN WRITE
    • ...

It is just a matter of readability. I would love this feature... (By the way, I am using TestStand 4.2.1)

Use the Label step to create separatioin.  You can Hide the Icon, Status and Name.  See Attached Picture:
