If you customize the Lot Settings dialog box, you can use the following steps to automatically test new changes you make to the lot settings. With these settings configured, TestStand Semiconductor Module (TSM) calls the VIs directly when configuring the lot settings so any changes you make are reflected immediately. You do not have to rebuild the packed project library.
