Hi,
I've recently met NI products and now we're making a test system that will run TS 3.5. TS is a very deep programme i liked it but there's no operator interface, at least i couldn't find it. Is there any embedded operator interface option in Teststand. I found an operator interface written in Labview but it always locks Teststand. Please do advice me a method. All i want to indicate are passed sequences in green color, failed sequences in red color, total test time, total tested, total passed and total failed count.

If you are just starting out using TestStand then I would recommend starting with the latest version. Currently it is 4.2.
There are 10 Operator Interfaces written in 5 languages that ship with TS 3.5. There is a simple and full-featured OI for each of the five languages which are: LabVIEW, CVI, C#.NET, VB.NET, C++.NET. The source code is also shipped with them as well. You can find them in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.5\OperatorInterfaces\NI\. In there you will see Full-Featured and Simple.
Or if you just want to run the default OI then go to Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>TestStand 3.5>>Operator Interfaces>>etc..
I highly recommend taking the TestStand I and II courses taught by NI. They will greatly improve your understanding of how to use TS. http://www.ni.com/training/overview.htm
Also, the TestStand Reference Manual is a great resource about how to use TestStand.
