Why does TestStand pause when loading a notification step and on a property load

[Eugene12]

Why does TestStand pause when loading a notification step and also on a property loader step. There are no error popups to indicate a problem. I then have to hit continue.

Do you have set a breakpoint?

Does this occur in any user interface?

No. There are no break points set. But, there is a user interface.

Eugene,

the question is that if the "break on step" occurs in any user interface, e.g. in Sequence Editor as well as in custom UIs.

The next question is: does it occur on any PC or only on a single one?

Sidenote: You can set options to break

- on first step

- on step failure

- on sequence failure.

 Maybe you are encountering this. This should be station-specific hence "the next question".... (you can find this setting in "Execution" in the Sequence Editor)

hope this helps,

Eugene -

Two additional ways that an execution can be suspended are if you call Execution.Break() in a code module or an expression, or if you define a conditional Watch Expression in the sequence editor and the watch breaks on a value change.
