Converting TestWorks 4 Methods and Sample
Files

Quick access:

Start menu > All Programs > MTS TestSuite > TestWorks 4 Converter

The TestWorks 4 Converter allows you to convert TestWorks 4 methods and sample files, or entire folders,
so they can be used with the MTS TestSuite TW application.

There are differences in file formats and pre-set parameters (such as safety parameters) between the two
programs, therefore, you must review each converted template or test to confirm the accuracy of the
conversion. Although the intent of the converter is to provide a completely converted file, MTS does not
guarantee that it can or will permit complete conversion of your TestWorks 4 method or sample file into
an MTS TestSuite TW template or test.

Conversion Issues for MTS FlexTest Controllers

The TestWorks 4 application has the capability to apply calculations to FlexTest Controller signals. The
TW application does not have this capability.
