CVI debugger : restricted view

[Domp]

Hello ,

I've seen something strange in the CVI 2013 debugger. I can't see more of 10 000 points of an array with the CVI debugger (with "View variable value"). This seems to be new, whereas with older versions of CVI, it is possible to see very wide range of data.

So, is there a way of seeing a very large array ?

Best regards.

There are two options: use graphical array view, which works for larger arrays, too.

Otherwise, if you use View Variable Value and click on the name, you are asked if you want to use Array Display:

If you answer Yes, a popup will show up asking you which portion of the data to look at, see below:

In my case, x_raw consists of 24064 data points, but only 10000 can be loaded into the Array Display table simultaneously - which at first glance does not seem to be a restriction as one is not able to look at that many numbers simultaneously.

But it still is a restriction as there is no possibility to change this selection... So if one is interested in say data points 500, 11000, 22000 at present it seems impossible to do that...

Hello Wolfgang,

For test I have made in simple array of double like this one :

double tab[30000];

for(int i=0; i<30000; i++) tab[i]=i;

I 've tried to change the slice in the array view, but the result seems to be very curious. You could see that in the attached jpg.

Best regards.

You seem to be right, I tried with my code and here, too, the table shows wrong results, seems like you have found a bug 😉

Happy to see I'm not alone in the dark 😉

Yes, this is already a known issue in 2013, unfortunately: 463914.

Sorry about that.

just a little comment:

the solution to this issue was the answer of Luis that this is a known bug, so maybe you should also mark his answer as the solution, not yours

[Domp]

You're right. It's done now.

This has been fixed in CVI2013 SP2
