LabVIEW TestStand Runtime Server

[icastillejos]

I am using TS3.5 and LV8.2 and my LabVIEW Adapter is TestStand LabVIEW Runtime Server. When I launch my TestStand/TestExec application the TSLVRTS automatically launches too and everything runs fine, the problem is that when I close the app the TSLVRTS stays open and it is supposed to close automatically.

This is the content of the TestStandLVRTS.ini:

[TestStandLVRTS]
viSearchPath=<topvi>:\*

[Server Options]
Hide=TRUE
[TestStandLVRTS]
hideRootWindow=TRUE

Does anyone has an idea of what could be causing this? or where to get a full list of the flags that can be set in the TestStandLVRTS.ini file?

I have exactly the same flags in my TestStandLVRTS.ini file for LV7.0 and TS3.0 and everything works fine.

Thank you for your help

In TestStand 3.0 and prior, the LabVIEW Runtime Server shut down when the Adapter was unloaded.  However, this behavior was intentionally changed in TestStand 3.1.  When multiple processes were using the LabVIEW Runtime Server, this caused problems when one of the processes exited.  The Runtime Server was closed, even though the other process may still be using this server.  To correct this undesirable behavior, we do not try to shut down the Runtime Server.  The LabVIEW Runtime Server is left open intentionally.  You will not be able to change any flags to have it shut down since the code is inside the LabVIEW Adapter for TestStand.
