Python Script Waiting for Input

[m.trembley]

Hello everyone,

I'm somewhat new to TestStand 2023 and I'm trying to solve a problem that I'm not sure how to pull off.

I have a Python script that will write data to a device, and then it will wait for an input. During this wait, I need to power cycle the device. Once the device is power cycled, I can continue through to the end. How can I accomplish this?

I've tried editing the Python script and moving functions around, but it kind of breaks the whole script. I figured there should be a way I can just call main() in Python and let TestStand pass in the input when Python waits for it.

Please explain this question with a bit more detail. 

As far as I understand it now ,you should be able to separate your functions in python to achieve it via 2 steps instead of 1, ideally having a class inside of your code.

Otherwise, if it works for you, you can try to place your python call inside a subsequence and use new thread or execution to run it in the background until it reaches the point you need.
