multiple PSTs

Hi,
I'm working on an application where I generate a signal on the bench prop and amplify it, then feed it into a field application prop. When I connect two USB interfaces to two different com ports only one PST will enable at a time. It appears that when the second PST is enabled it takes the first one down. Like-wise going to the other monitor to turn turn the page on the Propeller manual knocks the PST into disabled mode. The desk-top is a four core with 8 GB of RAM. What am I doing wrong here? How can I launch the PSTs to stand alone and run independently? Also can I only run one instance of the Propeller tool at a time?

PST is just a serial terminal. It has the disable when anything else is active feature to "protect" the user.
In the forums there have been discussions about preferred terminals but I cannot find them at the moment.

You then need to click the "Disable" button before you download code to your Prop. If you have multiple Props connected at once the Propeller Tool will only download to the one that has been disabled.
If you turn off your Prop off without disabling the PST, you might have to close the PST and restart it to have it communicate with the Propeller again.
