Also, the file structure of Series 793 applications version 4.0 (and later) is different than earlier versions.
Among other things, the default location of test design and test data file is different. If you want your new test
data stored with existing data, you need to change the path specifications during installation, or by changing
the Project Setting file.

Archiving consideration for upgrade installations

If you are using software that automatically archives your test data, change the path used to access your files
as required.

In Series 793 applications version 3.5x or earlier, the default location of test data files is:

\\MTS software product name (for example, “ftiim”)\MPT\Specimens

In Series 793 applications version 4.0 or later, the default location of test data files is:

C:\MTS 793\Projects\individual Project (example:“Project 1”)\MPT\Specimens

About How Projects Are Loaded

Without a default Project assigned

If a default Project is not assigned, the Select Project window will appear when you open the Station Builder
or Station Manager applications from the Windows Start button.

If you start the Station Builder application from the Station Manager Applications menu, it will inherit the
Project used by the Station Manager application, and will not display the Select Project window.

The Basic TestWare and MultiPurpose TestWare applications also inherit the Project used by Station Manager.

With a default Project assigned

If a default Project is assigned, the default Project will automatically open against the selected application.
The Select Project window will not appear when you start the application.

Identifying the Current Project

The currently selected Project is displayed on the status bar of the Station Manager application.
