Concurrent applications using System Exec.vi do not run concurrently when executed within TestStand

[Ray.R]

Here's a good one for Ben ;o)

NOTE: I also posted this in TestStand (yeah... I know... I shouldn't double post... too few people read the other one... ;o)

I created a vi which must execute an application, wait 2 sec then execute a second application while the first one is running.

When running the vi using LV, it works well.

This vi is now part of a test sequence within TestStand. The problem is that when the vi is called by TestStand, the first application is launched using "System Exec.vi", completes, then waits 2 sec, and then executes the second application.


Both applications must run simultaneously.

I am using the Sequential Model for TestStand
as there is only one thread of sequence running.


How do I overcome this unexpected barrier?
