TestStand Engine

Bug IDFixed Issue
103330Fixed an issue where running multiple threads in parallel is slower than expected on dual- or multiple-core computers.
125295Fixed an issue where users without save privileges can select Save All in a user interface to save sequence files.
122188Fixed an issue where the TestStand Deployment Utility fails to include all DLLs that VIs call.
121600Fixed an issue where unloading TestStand modules built with LabWindows/CVI 7.1.1, such as modelsupport2.dll, leaks memory because a handle is not released. You must build TestStand DLL modules with LabWindows/CVI 8.1.1 or later to prevent a memory leak when unloading the DLL.
113043Fixed an issue where the Str() expression function incorrectly converts a numeric value to a formatted integer (%i) when the value is larger than the maximum possible integral value.
108063Fixed an issue where executing a Sequence Call step configured to ignore termination in the Cleanup step group incorrectly cancels termination of the Main step group.
106208Fixed an issue where TestStand fails to open an NI Switch Executive session to some third party switches because TestStand passes NULL instead of an empty string as the optionsparameter of the niSE_OpenSession function.
106480Fixed an issue where executions fail to create a directory for a report when the executions attempt to create the directory at the same time.
