Creating a thread

Hi everyone
 
I have a sequence where I have to send a message every 5 seconds or my part will go to sleep. Well while I need to do that I also need to send other messages to the part. So I was thinking of creating a thread that will run in the background sending the required message every 5 seconds and then the main sequence will just run normal. I have never done this in TestStand so I'm asking for any kind of help on creating threads.

Hi, yaz,

You may create a multithreaded sequence call. All you need to do is to select "use new thread" under execution option in the step settings for the sequence call.
