Is it possible to leave VI front panels open after TestStand has run them?

[RayFarmer]

Hi,

You would have to run the VI in a seperate thread or execution so that the sequence that invoked the step can continue while your VI is running. You will also have to ensure your VI closes before the Sequence completes its executions.

Have a look at the examples in TestStand\Examples\ExecutingCodeModulesInParallel.

Hope this of some help

You can use the "Run VI Asynchronously" step type (found under the subMenu "LabVIEW Utility") to run a VI in a separate thread.

TestStand ships with an example that uses this step type to display a status window.  The example can be found under TestStand\Examples\Auto Schedule.
