Differ Application
The TestStand Differ application allows you to compare and merge differences between two sequence files without editing the sequences in the sequence editor. You can launch the application by running <TestStand>\Bin\SeqFileDifferApp.exe. The Differ application displays the Select Sequence Files to Diff dialog box when you launch the application. After you select the two files to compare, the Differ application displays the main window. The main window is almost identical to the Differ window of the sequence editor. Refer to Differ Window and Differ Context Menu for more information on using the Differ application.

Note The Differ application cannot display differences between step types and data types in two sequence files. The Differ application resolves any type conflicts between the two files before determining the differences in the files. Refer to the Resolving Type Conflicts section of Chapter 11, Type Concepts, of the NI TestStand Reference Manual for more information on how TestStand resolves type conflicts. |

Note The Differ application uses the active version of TestStand you select using the TestStand Version Selector application. |
Command-Line Usage
You can also specify which two sequence files to compare using the command-line arguments for the application. You typically use the Differ application to compare TestStand sequence files in source code control. For example:
SeqFileDifferApp.exe "C:\My Documents\File1.seq" "C:\My Documents\File2.seq"
