breakpoint boolean

[ziedhosni]

Hello,

Is it possible to set automatically a breakpoint or simply put all the VI in the pause state if a boolean control becomes true. I am running several steps in a while loop and I want to put just in the moment that the boolean control becomes true outside the loop ( I dont want to finish the step and finish the current iteration of the loop)

Thanks a lot

What you want is a conditional probe. There is a boolean one that ships with LV (right click the wire and select Custom Probe>>Conditional and then go to the condition tab of the probe). You can actually create custom probes of your own as well and there should be info in the LV help.

I think I did not explain myself very well. The problem is that I don't know in which moment the boolean outside the while loop will becomes true. So the breakpoint can be anywhere in the steps of the while loop and not on a precise wire.

in another way, I would like a function that can do the action of clicking the pause button automatically when a boolean becomes true in the vi insted of clicking manually on pause.

I hope I explained better my problem.

Thanks,

Zied

A Breakpoint will pause all your VI's. You can easily make a conditional breakpoint by placing a case structure and placing a breakpoint in 1 case.

But a conditional probe is even easier because it doesn't require you to change your code.

Maybe I didn't explain myself well enough - a conditional probe is exactly the same as putting it in the case structure, except it's completely temporary - you define the pause condition in the probe and if that condition becomes true, the VI will pause.

Interesting, i haven't looked at Conditional Probes, only the Conditional stop on error on error wires. 🙂

Yes, that's the more correct way.
