bookmarks.

Debugging
Debugging Source Code Files
NetLinx Studio contains several useful options for debugging your Master Controller and Source
Code files.
In order to begin debugging, your computer must be connected to a Master Controller, and you
must have a compiled Source Code file active.
 To use debugging, the Build With Source option must be selected in the Axcess
Compiler and/or NetLinx Compiler tabs of the Preferences dialog, before the file is
compiled. For NetLinx code, select
 You cannot compile, send/receive files, or change port settings while the program is in
debug mode.
 Avoid declaring variables as volatile whenever possible, since volatile variables will not
display their contents during the debug session.
 NetLinx character strings by default are displayed in current length mode, while all other
strings (including Integer strings) are displayed in total length mode.
The Debugging feature allows you to view variables declared within the scope of a
Function and or Call procedure. However, stack and parameter values are not
editable. If you attempt to edit either the stack or parameter values, a warning
message is displayed.
