labview dialog box not poping up when using test stand

[beam7]

Hi,

When running a Test Stand sequence, one of the tests calls up a labview VI that has had it's properties set to a dialog box and although it does pop up, sometimes it will appear behind the front Test Stand screen (if you minimise the Test Stand screen, you can see the Box). If I close all the National Instruments programs then re-run the Test Stand sequence the dialog box will appear in front of the Test Stand screen but this only seems to happen once.

Can anyone help with this problem???

thanks

Chris

It sounds like you are not using the Start Modal Dialog/End Modal Dialog functions that are on the TestStand palette. Add these at the very beginning and very end of your VI and it should work like you want.

Thanks, that works.
