Issue Details

I need to remove the "Begin Sequence: <Sequence Step Name> (<Sequence File Path>)" and "End Sequence: <Sequence Step Name>" entries on my ASCII test report.
I have tried filtering out the sequence call steps which removed information I need and still didn't remove the text I wanted. 
 

Solution

To remove the the the "Begin Sequence: <Sequence Step Name> (<Sequence File Path>)" and "End Sequence: <Sequence Step Name>" entries on my ASCII test report you would need to do the following steps:
  1. Navigate to the following path: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 2017\Components\Models\TestStandModels\modelsupport2
  2.  Make a copy of the folder modelsupport2
  3. If you have LabWindows™/CVI™ you could open modelsupport2.prj and edit the c_report.c file.
  4. On c_report.c you would need to comment the next lines:​​
  1. Apply the changes in the c_report.c
  2. Open TestStand and run your sequence.
  3. Check the text report.
  4.
