How to debug Labview program running in RT target of a Compact RIO

[@mjm]

I am using CRIO 9073 for data acquisition from sensors. The Labview program is written in both RT target and FPGA target. Is it posssible to do step wise execution for the Program written in RT target and the FPGA target the way we do for debugging program in general purpose OS.

mjm,

The only way to use the debugging tools on a VI written for FPGA is to simulate execution on the host PC. You can then deploy the compiled FPGA code to the target and run your RT VI in debugging mode if you are using front panel communication with the host PC.

Hey @mjm, 

Here are the steps that you would need to go through in order to debug your Real-Time application running on your target, 

Debugging a Stand-Alone Real-Time Application (Real-Time Module)

Remember to remove debugging when you release your final build as it will significantly decrease your build size.
