Debugging an RT Application

If you select a debug configuration, you can debug the DLL from the LabWindows/CVI environment as you would debug any other application. For example, you can set breakpoints and watch expressions, step through code, view and edit variable values, and so on.

Note  Do not use the LabWindows/CVI debugging features to debug execution timing problems because the debugging features affect the timing of an application.

Using the Real-Time Trace Viewer

Use the Real-Time Trace Viewer to analyze the timing and execution of an RT application. Use the Real-Time Trace Viewer functions in the Real-Time Utility Library to capture the timing and execution data of functions and threads in applications running on an RT target. The Real-Time Trace Viewer displays the timing and event data, or trace session, on the host computer.

In LabWindows/CVI, select Tools»Real-Time Trace Viewer to launch the Real-Time Trace Viewer.
