TestStand launches the Open File dialog box when TestStand requires you to specify the name and location of a file, such as selecting File»Open .

The Open File dialog box contains the following options:

• Directory History —A list of directories in which files were previously opened from.
• Look In —The name of the current directory. The list control displays the contents of the current directory.
• File Name —The name of the file to select.
• Files of Type —The file types to display in the list control that displays the contents of the current directory.
• Use Absolute Path —When you enable this option, TestStand includes the absolute path for the selected file.
• Current Folder —Selects the current directory. This option is available only when selecting the module path in the Python Adapter.

An Open File dialog box launches when you click the Browse for VI button on the LabVIEW Module tab of the Step Settings pane in the TestStand Sequence Editor or in the Edit LabVIEW VI Call dialog box in a TestStand User Interface . TestStand then launches additional file selection dialog boxes depending on the type of LabVIEW file you open, as the following table describes.
