I want to be able to autostart a sequence when launching a TestStand Operator Interface (SimpleUI template is used). I've tried a couple of different approaches to get this feature working but the result is the same, it gets stuck at the "Preparing to preload modules" dialog that opens when a sequence is started.
I want to execute the entry point "Test UUTs" of a generic main sequence (which will execute a UUT specific test sequence based on entered serial number), the test steps are written in LabView and it's configured to use the Run Time Engine (TestStand version 2017 and LabView version 2016).
I've tried to add startup option parameters (https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052W-01/tsfundamentals/infotopics/startup_opt/) and I've tried to load and execute the sequence programmatically (load sequence using ApplicationMgr OpenSequence and execute sequence using SequenceFileViewMgt GetCommand as in this post https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/Direct-execution-of-the-sequence-when-UI-launches/m-p/1996599), but the result is the same. I've also tested to disable the preloading dialog as suggested in https://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/Preparing-to-preload-modules/td-p/2514606?profile.language=en but then I get the stop responding status in the application title bar.
How can I get this working?
