Unable to open TestStand 2 sequence from TestStand 3

[Kevin R.]

I have a sequence file built in TestStand 2 that I am unable to open from TestStand 3. I first receive some type conflict prompts, then the following error.


Invalid adapter name: 'Labview'.
The sequence file 'filename' cannot be loaded.
Error code -17336, Invalid adapter name.
Source 'TSAPI'.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this or how work around it?

Hi
It looks like somebody has edited this file manually. The fix is to change all instances of

Adapter = "LabVIEW"
to
Adapter = ""

One way of doing it is to open the file in NotePad/wordPad and change the strings. You can also write a application which does this if you have many files.

That should fix the problem.

I hope this helps

Kevin -
The adapter name in TestStand 2.x for LabVIEW is "G Std Prototype Adapter". If you look in most TestStand 2.x files you should see lines like this:

Adapter = "G Std Prototype Adapter"

Based on your error I assume that if you look in your TS 2.x file you will see:

Adapter = "Labview"

I am not sure how the adapter name was set like this. If the text is "Labview", then you should be able to backup your current TS 2.x file, edit in NOTEPAD the value of the text in quotes for the Adapter setting.

If the text is not "Labview", can you please post the sequence file?

Note that TestStand 3.0 files no longer store this adapter setting in the same way, so you no longer see this line in TestStand 3.0 files.
