In the first TestStand tutorial, one suggestion for tracking local variable values is to apply a breakpoint to the code, then step through the execution and observe the variable values on the Variables tab in the Execution window. One problem I see with this is that with each Step Over in the execution, the focus switches back to the Steps tab. I have to keep switching back to the Variables tab to see the values. And this method is taught in the NI tutorial.
Perhaps NI can provide a way to lock focus on one of the tabs, in this case Variables, as we step through the execution (such as when debugging code). Maybe allow the user to jump to another view manually, but then set the focus such as when the next Step is requested, the view automatically jumps back to the view that was set in focus lock. This would make such a method truly helpful when debugging a TestStand sequence.
