Logging to a Database on a Seperate Thread in TestStand 2.0.x

This example is intended to show how to quickly enable database logging on a seperate thread while using the SequentialModel.seq. Since it is possible in a real world scenario that the time to log to a database can take up an equal amount of time as actually running the test, sometimes it is more efficient to have the main UUT loop proceed with the next serial number rather than always waiting for the Database logging steps to finish first. With a few customizations it is possible to have the logging (of the previous test) and the execution (of the current test) happen in parallel. Note that logging two tests simultaneously is not the aim of this example. A working process model and a text file of instructions for how it was created are attached below. To use this example, copy the process model into your /Components/User/Models/TestStandModels folder and then open the Configure>>Station Options dialog to access the Model tab. Browse to the file and press OK to make the new process model active. This example was tested with Microsoft Access.
