Create a template – MTS Multipurpose Elite User Manual

Note:
Although a template can include test resources, if the template is designed for a particular
controller configuration, the resources may not map to (match) the test station resources in your
system.
Test definitions
You can add a test definition to a test from a template. The source of the template can be any existing test
or template that has tests. With the exception of test and analysis runs, specimen definitions, and completed
reports, the new test contains all other test information.
Template locations
Tests and templates exist on disk as folders with the .Test folder name extension. They are typically located
at a subdirectory of C:\MTSTestSuite\Projects and C:\MTSTestSuite\Templates, respectively.
Report templates are located in the C:\MTSTestSuite\Report Templates folder.
Note:
Do not rename, move, or change the contents of the Projects or Templates folders outside of the
MTS TestSuite applications. To rename an open test, use the Test Information window in any
application.
About saving templates
When you save a template, MTS TestSuite compresses the template and assigns an extension of
.tstemplate.
Templates can be managed with the operating system.
Note:
Template files are not fully self-contained; they contain references to other files (such as Report
Templates).
