TestStand launches the Time Limit Exceeded dialog box when a time limit specified on the Time Limits tab of the Station Options dialog box is exceeded. By default, TestStand time limit settings specify to launch this dialog box when an abort operation for a normal execution fails to complete within 10 seconds.

This dialog box typically appears when a TestStand execution is waiting for a code module to finish executing. In these cases, use a termination monitor in code modules to check the status of the TestStand execution .

The Time Limit Exceeded dialog box contains the following options:

• Do Nothing —Allows the execution to end normally.
• Wait For —Instructs TestStand to wait for a specified number of seconds before re-evaluating whether the condition that triggered the time limit is satisfied.
• Terminate —Instructs TestStand to attempt to terminate the execution.
• Abort —Instructs TestStand to attempt to abort the execution.
• Kill Threads —Instructs TestStand to attempt to immediately kill all threads in the execution.
  Notice Killing threads in an execution prevents the system from properly releasing resources and might cause the TestStand application to become unstable.
