Configure Menu

The Configure menu in a TestStand User Interface contains the following options for editing sequences and steps:

  • Station Options —Launches the Station Options dialog box, in which you can set preferences for a TestStand station. These settings affect all sequence editor and user interface sessions you run on the computer.
  • Search Directories —Launches the Edit Search Directories dialog box, in which you can customize the search paths for finding files. The Edit Search Directories dialog box displays a list of paths. The paths that appear first in the list take precedence over the paths that appear later in the list. When you first run TestStand, the list contains a default set of directory paths.
  • External Viewers —Launches the Configure External Viewers dialog box, in which you can specify the external viewer, such as Microsoft Notepad or Microsoft Edge, for each report format .
  • Adapters —Launches the Adapter Configuration dialog box, in which you can configure a specific module adapter, specify the active module adapter, or configure whether the adapter is not visible on the Insertion Palette pane.
  • Result Processing —Launches the default Result Processing dialog box, in which you enable or disable the installed built-in and custom result processing model plug-ins in the active result processing configuration, such as the Generate Reports model plug-in and the Database model plug-in, and also configure how the model plug-ins process test results. You can insert multiple instances of the same plug-in with various configuration options. Click the icon in the Options column for each built-in plug-in to launch the Options dialog box, in which you set options specific to the plug-in. For example, click the options icon for the Offline Results File plug-in to launch the Offline Results File Generation Options dialog box, in which you specify options for determining the directory location for result files, writing the results to the file on-the-fly or after each UUT completes, limiting the number of UUTs per file, automatically starting and/or exiting the TestStand Offline Results Processing Utility.
    Note If you are using the equivalent legacy TestStand 2010 process models, the Configure menu includes the following items:
    • Report Options —Launches the Report Options dialog box, in which you enable UUT report generation and configure the report type and content of report files.
    • Database Options —Launches the Database Options dialog box, in which you enable UUT result logging and configure the schema for mapping results to database tables and columns.
  • Model Options —Launches the Model Options dialog box, in which you configure the number of test sockets and other process model-related options.
