Searching for occurrences of variables or expressions

I have a system definition of over a thousand signals. I see that VeriStand 2011 has some search functionality built in. Is there a way to search not just ni the channel names but for the use of particular variables within calculated channels? For example, if I have UserVar1, I'd like to be able to find all occurrences of where UserVar1 is used. It could be an argument in a Calculated Channel, a mapping destination, an alias, etc. Is there a search tool that can accomplish this? Thanks.

Hello hyog,

 

I see what you are saying, that searching for a name of a variable within Calculated Channels, as one example, from the VeriStand Ctrl+F search dialog does not find it. Let me check in with our product support engineer if that functionality would be better placed as a feature request (currently intended behavior) or not, which could be filed as a Corrective Action Request. This would be very usefuly for large system definitions of your caliber and troubleshooting/making changes.

 

Thank you,

Also, outside of the VeriStand environment, another option for mass searching variable names would be to search the System Definition's XML file.
