Syntax

StepType.DefaultNameExpr

Data Type

String

Purpose

Specifies a string expression TestStand evaluates and uses as the name of the step when you create a new step with the step type.

Remarks

If a step with the same name already exists in the sequence and the Make step names unique when inserting steps sequence editor option is enabled, TestStand appends an underscore followed by a number to the step name to make it unique.

If you want to store the name in a string resource file , use the Restr expression function to retrieve the name from the file. Storing the name in a string resource file is useful when you want to display the name in different languages.
