Use the displayed browser to select the downloaded file and click Open to start the upgrade. See

File management tasks
A project, along with its associated files (for example, script files), resides in a workspace folder.
Typical file management tasks include the creation of new projects and script files (see
Creating
and modifying a script for details on file management tasks). A script project can also be imported
from a Series 2600A into Test Script Builder, where it can be modified (for details, see Retrieving
scripts from the Series 2600A).
Other typical file management tasks include Creating a new workspace, Importing a project from
another workspace, Switching workspaces, and Deleting projects and/or script files. These file
management tasks are explained as follows:
Creating a new workspace
Additional workspaces can be created anywhere in your file system. A new workspace is simply a
new folder for project files. A new folder for a workspace can be made from TSB as follows:
1. At the top of TSB, click File on the toolbar to open the file menu and then click Switch
Workspace to open the Workspace Launcher (
Figure 13-17A).
2. Click the Browse button to open the Select Workspace Directory browser and select the
location for the new folder.
Figure 13-17B shows the Test Script Builder folder selected as the
location for the new workspace folder. Keep in mind that the workspace folder can be located
anywhere in your file system.
3. In the Select Workspace Directory, click the Make New Folder button. A folder named New
Folder will be inserted at the selected location.
4. In the browser, right-click New Folder and click Rename in the mouse menu.
5. Type in a name for the new workspace folder (for example, workspace2) and press Enter.
6. In the browser, click OK, and then click OK in the Workspace Launcher. Test Script Builder will
close and then reopen using the new workspace.
There will not be any projects residing in the Project Navigator for the new workspace. New
projects and script files can be created as explained in
Creating and modifying a script. A project
(along with its script files) can be imported into the new workspace from another workspace folder.

Importing a project from another workspace.
