Call executable - calling application in cmd

[johnsnow34]

Hi,

I have a Teststand sequence (2017) like following:

The goal is:

In step "Start_iperfServer_DUT1" a .exe tool is started in cmd by call execuable.

After running of next step "Start_iperfClient_DUT1", .exe tool returns the response in cmd. And the response should be saved in a parameter (use Store in Variable/Property).

But the Problem is step "Start_iperfClient_DUT1" will only be executed after step "Start_iperfServer_DUT1" finished. That means .exe tool was already closed. So the response can also not be taken.

Anyone have ideal how to solve this problem? Thanks
