Should it be possible to run multiple Batch executions simultaneously usingthe stock NI Batch process model?In other words, if I have a sequence file that uses the NI Batch processmodel to test 4 UUT in parallel, should I be able to run multiple instancesof this client sequence file simultaneously?Say I have 3 fixtures that each hold 4 UUT. Each fixture can be loaded andunloaded asynchronously, possibly while the UUT in another fixture are beingtested. The most straightforward way to accomplish this it would seem wouldbe to launch a separate 4 UUT Batch execution on each fixture. Essentially,this would be kind of a mixed Serial and Batch type environment...Is this theoretically possible using the NI Batch process model?The reason I ask is that I've attempted to simulate this using the NI Batchprocess model and a simple test sequence file, but have not had success.There seems to be issues with the UUT dialog when I attempt to run more thatone Batch execution (sometimes the second dialog never appears with theresults, sometimes the test socket executions for the second Batch are'stopped' for reasons I'm not clear on, sometimes both executions seem tohang, etc).I am not sure if the issue is with the process model itself or with the DLLthat manages the UUT.Has anyone ever successfully accomplished multiple asynchronous Batchexecutions?Thanks,---Bob

Are multiple Batch executions possible?

Ah. I added a field to the ModelData container. The client can see this
via "RunState.Root.Parameters.ModelData..." even with "Seperate Globals for
Each Execution" selected.

Seems to do what I need.
