How to stop TestStand taking control of other desktop programs while running

$

Hi All,

 

I am using TestStand 2014, LabView 2015 & Windows 7 OS

 

When I run TestStand I like to keep one or 2 LabView VI's open (a graph or result file to show indicator values) to track the progress of my run. I also need VI's to open from TestStand steps (In LabView VI: File/VI Properties/Category:Window Appearance->Customize.../'Show front panel when called' & 'Close afterwards if originally closed' options selected) when the step is run and close when I enter control values.

 

My issue is if I am working on another desktop program (i.e. typing an email of writing a word document) while my TestStand sequence is running then TestStand pulls control from the other program I am using. This is very counter productive when a hour long TestStand sequence is constantly preventing a user from typing on another program in parallel. 

 

I have scrolled through TestStand settings in vain to resolve this issue. Please can anyone provide me with a solution to allow me to run TestStand where the LabView VI's don't constantly take precedence over other Desktop programs?

Any help much appreciated.

Regards,

Sean
