Allow editing VI while running and in pause

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 2 kudos within 2 years after posting will be automatically declined.

It could be nice to have the possibility to edit the FP and BD when the VI is running and in pause.

 

Some time it's long to get a software to a state that you want to trouble shoot and It append all the time that you need to stop your app to just toggle a Boolean constant or to change a numeric constant on the block diagram. That will be be very useful to make some minor change to help debug our app.

Something tells me this won't be high on the list of to-dos at NI.......

 

Re-compiling and re-assigning memory from a different code base?  Sounds very tricky.

In theory, cool, but as Intaris says, an absolute nightmare in implementation. I would rather LabVIEW developers focus on other issues. How would you extrapolate the currently running VI's state memory into the edited memory if you add or delete memory registers or blocks?
