TestStand 4.0 Slow Startup

[echu]

Hi,

I've just recently updated the TestStand from v3.5 to v4.0. I found it's significant slower than v3.5. It took around 1 min to load the TestStand sequence editor with a blank sequence. My computer is a P4 3GHz HT w/ 1G of memory. I checked task manager. No process was using the CPU. I have to load/unload many times during development. It would save lots of development time if the loading time can be reduced. Is there any setting in TestStand that I can change to speed it up?

Thanks

Eric

I'm not aware of a setting however-

1- Why do you have to load and unload many times?  There is an option to unload all modules. File>>Unload All Modules.  This unloads any loaded modules from memory.

2- There is a post here for 3.5 and some info might still apply for 4.0? http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&message.id=12497&query.id=217244#M12497

3- Also, it looks like someone at NI confirmed the slower startup in 4.0: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&message.id=15598&query.id=217287#M15598

Hi echu,

I have the same problem too.

Just check out this article in NI KnowledgeBase: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/E5E0A76FB3B5B80A862570A4005D43FB

It does speed up your TestStand Start. Hope this help you.
