Changing environments requires exiting the existing application instance and launching a new one. You can do this manually by exiting the application and launching a new application instance, specifying the new environment on the command line.

For convenience, the TestStand Sequence Editor and full featured User Interfaces support changing environments directly from the Configure Environment dialog.

Select Configure»Environment to launch the Configure Environment dialog box. From there, load the desired .tsenv file, and choose Set Engine Environment. When prompted to end all executions, close all sequence files, and restart the engine, click OK. The current application instance shuts down. A new instance launches in the specified environment.
