Auswahlverzeichnis
German to English
Tech/Engineering
context: software for a visual inspection system on a production line
"Es waren Programme mit gleichen Programmnummern (erforderlich zur automatischen Programmumschaltung beim Typenwechsel) in dem Auswahlverzeichnis der Software. Diese dürfen jeweils nur einmal vergeben werden, da die Software sonst nicht unterscheiden kann, welches Programm geladen werden soll."
(note Typenwechsel refers to production of a different part)
TIA, Beth

Selected
selection directory
a) Even though the text refers to "Programme" instead of "Dateien", it is possible (in my experience even likely) that it means files, those programs (which are indeed sets of parameters) being stored one per file.
b) From the context ("automatische Programmumschaltung") it seems to me that "Auswahlverzeichnis" refers to a predefined directory from which the software picks the different programs without human intervention (on the basis of scanned ID tags or whatever). In this case "selection directory" would probably be more accurate than "selected directory".
Just conjectures based on previous exp. with production line software, may be all wrong - you know your software best, Beth.

selected directory
sounds like just one directory with its corresponding list of files and subdirectories.

Selection list vs. selected directory
It's really hard to tell, but my impression is they are talking about a selection list, not a directory:
"Programme" does not refer to executable programs, but to a collection of settings, like a recipe. These recipes are handled by a selection programm which will return an error because it expects to find unique recipe numbers.
For "Auswahlverzeichnis" to refer to a directory, one should expect "file names" instead of "program names" that need to be unique.
However, unless you're able to conclude from additional context which version is correct, you might want to contact your client. If that's impossible, use a workaround: "During the selection, repeated program numbers have been found. These program numbers are required for automatic ..."
