[aparab]

I have worked out a  step list configuration  in my development maschine

How to import it in  a User Interface (labview simple UI) . I  have to  run it on my deployment maschine 

[aparab]

In my User interface  Step list configuration  even after modifying & then building  an exe

still  the UI.exe has old  stepconfiguration.

Hi aparab,

in what kind of UI do you want to import the Teststand sequence?

Do you want to use the Teststand Simple User Interface for controlling the test sequence?

Or do you need to call a Teststand sequence from a LabVIEW appication?

hi Melanie,

Hi aparab,

thank you for your answer.

I am stil not sure what you exactly want to change.

If you only want to change the view of the Simple User Interface between Edit Mode and Operating Mode, you can do so by selecting Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Insert.

If you want to manipulate the look of the Sequence File, this is an X-Control in the background. If you need another look, you can change the control on the Simple User Interface in LabVIEW. But you have to implement all the functionality by yourself then.

There is a toolkit called FlexStand, that might be a solution for you.

I hope, one of the points above answer your question. Otherwise, let me know and describe what you exactly what to manipulate and how it should look like. You can add some screenshots, that help me understand.

Hi aparab,

thank you for the screenshot.

Do you generate the Step List Config from the files mentioned in the link below? These files should be updated when there is something modified in the Step List Config.

This info is actually stored in all 3 files in the following location (at least on Windows 7):

C:\Users\<your_user_id>\AppData\Local\National Instruments\TestStand 2013

So you could just copy the XML elements FileStepListConfigurations and ExecutionStepListConfigurations from SeqEdit.xml to the equivalent place in UserInterface.xml. Because these configurations are really from PropertyObject files, it's also possible to set them programmatically using the TestStand PropertyObject API, but that is a bit more complicated. It might be simpler to just copy the info into the xml file.

Hope this helps,
