TestStand 2014 Preload Progress Dialog Box Bug

Our team noticed recently a potential bug with the Preload Progress Dialog Box in TestStand 2014. We have a number of complex sequence files, some of which take many hours to execute, with many calls to LabVIEW 2014 modules.

 

For the extremely long sequence files (> 6 hours execution time), we found a problem with module preloading - under certain execution conditions (specifically when the sequence file is being called from a command line system exec via a LabVIEW application) the preload progress dialog box would begin running and permanently livelock itself, looping across a series of modules and never completing.

 

We've gotten around this issue for the time being by setting the Preload Progress Dialog Box Delay in Station Options > Preferences to -1, disabling the dialog box. But perhaps there is a root cause for this issue that we can address more directly?

Are you preloading all modules before starting the sequence? Is it possible to have them loaded while running the sequence?

What is the RAM size on machine?
