NI TestStand

[MICHAELZUBKOV]

Hi,

How can I unload sequence after it finished running?

In unload option I picked the unload after step executes, in MainSequence I did not set Optimize Non Reeantrant calls to This Sequence, but still the used memory did not decreased.

Thanks.

There is an API function that does this.

RunState.Engine.UnloadAllModules()

Sorry I misread your question.  The UnloadAllModuals() function wouldn't be the best solution for you.

I believe you want to unload that individual step.

There is an option in the step settings under run options.  I will look at it when I am at my computer tomarrow to see if I can give you a better answer.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, but I need to run different sequences one after another (in one execution).

After one sequence finished running I want to unload it and to run the next one. The configurations I descibed in the first question should be enough, but still it did not work.

1. Select Step:

2. Here is what you need to do to dynamically load sequence.

3. Then  Unload after step executes:

The UnloadAllModuals() would work if you put it in the post Expression on each seq call.  But there is a performance hit if you were to use it after each step.

Hi,

As I mentioned before, I did all of the properties you suggested (load dynamicaly too), but still not working.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if it was working, the memory that TestStand using suppose to decrease.

I do not use the UnloadAllModules(), only the properties of the sequence.

Can you give an example of what you are trying to do and maybe I can more fully understand what you are trying to do.

[MICHAELZUBKOV]

Hi,

Here is an example.

I have sequence with all the properties you said. After the sequence ends I excpect the memory of TestStand to decrees (Task Maneger).

Hi,

Providing there is no other reference to that Sequence File in you Sequence then I would say your assumption is correct.
