Running two step sequences at the same time (Teststand 2010)

[justin1269]

Hi all,

I wanted to thank you all for helping with Teststand 2010. I have another problem or something I wanted to do and I never tried it before. I am currently using Teststand 2010 and I wanted to run two sequences at the same time.

1. I want to do a measurement (voltage) using a DMM

2. I want also send a command via serial communicating with UUT.

3. I do not know where to begin or how start. I was told to use sync

Bottom line is I want to measure the voltage and also send a serial command to the UUT

Thanks in advanced any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

WJ

You can implement two sequences (not "MainSequence") with designated functionality. So one sequence for UUT communication, the other for DMM measurements.

Start both sequences using a SequenceCall step in MainSequence. You have to change configuration of the first SequenceCall to "Use New Thread" in the Execution Options of that step.

As you were already told, you might have to take care about synchronizing the two threads (both sequences) using TS synchronization steps.
