LabWindows/CVI Tips and Tricks

Tips for Debugging Release Executables

Some problems occur only in release executables that you cannot debug, or only when specific hardware is installed on your machine. Read this community article to learn how to use the Loaded Modules window, map files, preprocessor files, and the DebugPrintf command to debug applications.

Workaround to Debug a Running Process

The “Proven Regular” LabWindows/CVI community member, dummy_decoy, proposed an interesting workaround to get LabWindows/CVI to attach to a running process for debugging purposes. To see the workaround and to share your own tip, visit the LabWindows/CVI community.
Comments from Beta Users
“The new built-in Resource Tracking Window has saved me days of adding custom debugging code to track resource usage. Now, with an integrated solution that requires no changes to my code, I have found multiple memory leaks in a matter of minutes. This new feature is invaluable,” says Chris Quick, software engineer from Laser Technology Inc. Read more about what’s new and judge for yourself.
