Agilent VEE Programming Techniques
Debugging Programs in Agilent VEE
When you run the program, you will see a colored outline around the objects
as they execute.
Use
Data Flow and Execution Flow to understand how a program is
operating, but turn them off to get higher performance. Combining these
features with debugging tools such as breakpoints will help you understand
how a VEE program works and where possible errors lie.
Examining Data on a Line
Checking the data at different points in your program is a fast, useful way to
debug your program. The Line Probe is a way to view the data on a given
line.
Place the mouse pointer over a data line in the detail view. The cursor
becomes a graphic of a magnifying glass. The line and its connections are
highlighted, and a box appears displaying the data value on the line. Click
the magnifying glass cursor, and a dialog box appears with more information
about the data line. (Or click
Debug ⇒ Line Probe and click on a line.)
For example, Figure 2-21 shows part of a VEE program with the output
displayed from the iconized
Function Generator. The output shows the
Function Generator generates a 256-point waveform array.
