Issue Details

When I try to open an ATML that is written in TD Schema v3.0. I get Error -17901, No converters can conver this file to a sequence file. I can open ATML files written in v1.0. 

Solution

  • Update ATML Toolkit: Download and install TestStand ATML Toolkit 2017. This version officially supports the ATML 3.0 (IEEE 1671.1:2017) schema.

  • Configure Translator Settings: The ATML version must be explicitly defined in the translator configuration.

    1. Launch the TestStand Sequence Editor.

    2. Go to Tools > Configure ATML TD Translator....

    3. Open the Schemas tab.

    4. Check Test Description Schema V3.0.

    5. Click OK and try importing the TD file again.
