Note
  • TestStand 2023 Semiconductor Module 2024 Q1 installs SeqEdit.exe.config in the <TestStand>\Bin directory and overwrites any existing file with the same filename in that directory. If you have created a custom SeqEdit.exe.config file, complete the following steps to preserve the custom file.
    1. Move the existing SeqEdit.exe.config file to a location outside the <TestStand> directory.
    2. Install TestStand 2023 Semiconductor Module 2024 Q1.
    3. Compare the SeqEdit.exe.config file TestStand 2023 Semiconductor Module 2024 Q1 installed to the custom version of the file and merge the custom changes into the file TestStand 2023 Semiconductor Module 2024 Q1 installed.
  • If you are installing more than one NI product, visit ni.com/r/tsminstall for information about installation order.
