Edit Menu

The Edit menu in a TestStand User Interface contains the following options for editing sequences and steps:
Note Menu items marked with an asterisk ( * ) appear only in Editor Mode.
  • Undo* —Removes the last edit you performed in the current document.
  • Redo* —Performs the last edit removed using the Undo command.
  • Cut* —Removes the selected text or object and places it on the clipboard.
  • Copy —Copies the selected text or object to the clipboard.
  • Paste* —Inserts text or an object from the clipboard.
  • Delete* —Deletes the selected text or object.
  • Rename* —Renames the text of the selected item.
  • Select All —Highlights all the objects in the active window or pane.
  • Edit* —The full name of the Edit menu item varies according to the type of the selected step. For example, the menu item name is Edit Message Settings for a Message Popup step, Edit Limits for a Numeric Limit Test step, and Edit Destination for a Goto step. For each step, the menu item invokes a dialog box in which you edit the settings that are unique to the type of the step. Some step types, such as the Label step and the Action step, do not have step-type-specific settings. For these step types, this menu item does not appear. A step type can provide more than one Edit menu item.
  • Specify Module* —Launches a Specify Module dialog box for the selected step, depending on the module adapter for the step. Use the Specify Module dialog box to specify the code module the step calls. You can also specify options TestStand uses when it calls the step.
  • Edit Code* —Displays the source code for the code module the step calls. TestStand uses the module adapter for the step to determine the appropriate application in which to display the source code.
  • Preconditions* —Launches the Preconditions dialog box, in which you can specify the conditions that must be true for each step in the sequence to run.
  • Sequence File Callbacks* —Launches the Sequence File Callbacks dialog box, which displays all the callback sequences you can override in the sequence file. This includes the Engine callbacks TestStand defines and the Model callbacks the process model for the sequence file defines.
  • Step Properties* —Launches the Step Properties dialog box, in which you can view and edit the properties for the selected step.
  • Sequence Properties* —Launches the Sequence Properties dialog box, in which you can edit the properties for the selected sequence.
  • Sequence File Properties* —Launches the Sequence File Properties dialog box, in which you can view the pathname, disk size, and disk date of the active sequence file. You can also use this dialog box to edit various properties of a sequence file, including the load and unload options, comment, and the sequence file type. If the sequence file type is normal, you can also specify a process model file for the sequence file.
