I have a legacy NIVS2009 system that I need to get familiar with prior to converting over to NIVS2010. I need to review an extensive list of Stimulus Profiles. It is very inconvenient in the stimulus generator within the Workspace. If I could cut and paste into a txt file would be sufficient, but it doesn't seem to allow. Is there a way to export or view .et1 files for review?
Thanks in advance for any input.

There is unfortunately not a way to do this in 2009. We worked hard to improve this area of support in NI VeriStand 2010, which has the following capabilities:
1. The two Stimulus Profile Editor dialogs (table and step-based) were merged into one dialog, which can create profiles containing a mix of both types.
2. The new Stimulus Profile Editor dialog can be launched from the VeriStand Project, and it can edit profiles offline. No more need to run the Workspace.
3. The Stimulus Profile file format was transitioned to XML, making it a little more human-readable, although not entirely so.

If I load a demo version of NIVS2010 on another machine, could I "mutate" a copy of the .et1 files to convert them into XML and save them off for offline manipulation? i.e. without mutating my system definition, deploying and fixing conversion issues.

Yes sir, there is.
The menubar in the Getting Started window has an entry that offers mutation.
The name is a little bit misleading since it says: Mutat Workspace and Systen Definition Files. Go ahead and launch it and you will see a pull down menu with a lot more options.
Thanks

I see it now. Thanks. Misnomer in the tools menu is correct. The tool can "mutate" various file types.
