About Test Files
A Basic TestWare test file (or ..tst file) is a test design file that typically includes the following:
• Test command (command type, test channel definition)
• Data acquisition definition (type, signals, buffer size/type)
• Data file definition (file name, data header, file format)
Default Test File Locations
In Series 793 applications version 3.5x or earlier, the default location of test files is:
• C:\MTS software product name (for example, “FTGT”)\btw
In Series 793 applications version 4.0 or later, the default location of test files is:
• C:\MTS 793\Projects\Project name (for example, “Project 1”)\BTW
About Test Files in Projects
A Project is a folder that contains or references files that are used and generated by Series 793 applications.
When you start Station Manager, you select a Project. Basic TestWare inherits the Project selected for Station
Manager. The current Project determines the location of Basic TestWare test files.
By default, Projects contain test files in the BTW subfolder. You can use the Project Manager application to
edit the Project Settings file to change the location of Basic TestWare test files.
