Disable Labview "Getting started Screen"

[paulmw]

How can I keep the labview "getting started" screen from showing?  I have this situation that when I execute my teststand sequence the "getting started" screen from the labview development version 8.0 pops up overtop teststand sequence editor when the execution finishes.  I think this is cause because I call a VI in my sequence that has a sub vi that is modal (it is a progress bar used to indicate fill transfer status).  This puts labview as the active window and when the execution finishes and the vi's are closed the "getting started" window is shown while teststand is running in the background. Is there a way to progmaticaly bring teststand back to the front?

There are two things you can do that might help.  You can change your teststand options to always run in the Run-Time engine by going to Configure|Adapters...  Then select LabVIEW and press Configure...   In the dialog that shows up, select LabVIEW Run-Time engine.  If you want to change this for only one or two steps, go to the Specify Module dialog and click on Advanced and change the setting for Always Run VI in LabVIEW Run-Time Engine.

Or you can change the TestStand Window Activation on the run options tab of the step properties.

Thank you daijoubu,

The Teststand Window Activation was the exact, perfect solution I was looking for.
