With a player project an OTX based tester for quick and easy distribution of executable OTX sequences can be created without any programming knowledge. A player project can be executed inside the Open Test Player or together with the to OTX Runtime API.

A player project refers to one or more Procedure Projects or PTX files. A player project can contain pre-configured OTX Procedure Calls, see OtxProcedureCall Editor which can be structured for execution inside the Control Sequence Designer.

Inside the Player Monitor Editor the Procedure Calls can be bound to a graphical user interface (GUI), executable inside Open Test Player.

Note: A player project or a PPX cannot be referenced by OtfProjectStructure_ProcedureProject, OtfProjectStructure_PlayerProject, or OtfProjectStructure_TestProject.

Note: A Player Project can be transported via a PTX File.

Note: A PPX can be executed via the OTX-Runtime API.

[`Logging`]	Contains Logging-Extension settings; see project settings for more information.
[`OTX-Mapping`]	Contains OTX Mapping files for use with extensions like HMI, Measure, ExternalServiceProvider.
[`PTX`]	Contains PTX libraries statically bound to the project.
[`Quantity`]	Contains Quantity-Extension settings, such as ODX files with UNIT-SPECS; see Project Settings for more information.
`ControlFile.otxCtrl`	Contains the procedure calls and the procedure sequence
`ProjectName.playPrj`	Contains the project structure and all dependencies (mandatory)
`ProjectName.playLay`	Contains the monitor layouts
