sequence file load takes forever

[mrbean]

When I select TEST UUT, the test exec seems (to the operator) to be doing nothing.  I'll probably have to display an hourglass (different discussion forum) to give some type of indication of life.  What exactly is TestStand doing that takes so long (upto 25s) before starting the first test?  Is the hourglass the best solution, or is there a sequence file (pre/post validation) setting that I should check to improve performance.

Hi,

This is not normal behaviour. You need to track down where the delay is.

Is it in the Process Model or your SequenceFile?

Have you got search paths that are network paths or are they all local.?

Check your Search Directories. If you have network paths and you dont need them, then delete or disable them.
