The purpose is to have a GUI that opens and runs TestStand sequences. The operator interfaces don't allow for modification of the sequence file so they are great for a production environment where you don't want the possiblity of some operator making any changes. All they do is run the program. There are examples in different languages because they can be modified to meet specific needs and these are the most common languages used by TestStand developers. In the TestStand user Manual (version 2 at least), there's a whole chapter on run-time operator interfaces.
