7.5.1.0 Adding Existing Hardware Resources to a Station
Configuration

If you want to add hardware resources (such as a digital input signal) to a test, use the Station Builder
application to add the hardware resource to the station configuration file used by that test.

Warning:

Changes to the station configuration file can result in unexpected system operation, including
unexpected or sudden actuator movement.

Sudden actuator movement can cause injury and equipment damage.

Only MTS Field Service Engineers or individuals that have received MTS training should attempt
to change station configuration files.

1. Use the Station Builder application to add the hardware resource to your test’s station configuration file.

2. When you load the test with that configuration file, the added hardware resources appear in the MTS

TestSuite Resources panel and you will be able to use those resources in your test.

Note:

Stations that share hardware resources cannot run at the same time.

For more information on using the Station Builder application to add resources to a station configuration, see
the MTS Series 793 Control Software manual (PN 100-147-130).
