TestStand 2016 SP1 Changes

Learn about new features, behavior changes, and other updates in TestStand 2016 SP1.

Version Independent Runtime Engine Support

Version Independent Runtime Engine support was introduced in LabVIEW 2017 and allows the LabVIEW runtime to load source files, such as VIs and projects, and build outputs, such as packed project libraries (PPLs), DLLs, and executables that were saved or built in an older version of LabVIEW. TestStand 2016 SP1 supports this feature in the LabVIEW Adapter. Enabling this feature in TestStand reduces the number of LabVIEW runtime engines that would have to be loaded into the TestStand process to execute LabVIEW code modules.

Ignored Differences in the File Diff and Merge Utility

In TestStand 2016 SP1, the TestStand File Diff and Merge Utility gives you the option to ignore some differences in certain situations. The number of ignored changes in a file is displayed in the File List.

Property Loader Improvements

TestStand 2016 SP1 includes bug fixes and other improvements for the redesigned Property Loader step that was introduced in TestStand 2016.
