Retain Wire values for VIs and Subvis in execution

[Rohit_karegaonkar]

Retain wire values is a key feature used in debugging.When analysing or debugging complex code, sometimes it becomes important to retain values in all VIs and Sub Vis which are in execution.

The necessity is more important when dealing with specific Hardware or Software events which are rare and requires special efforts to regenrate.

At that time if any Sub Vi is missed out to retain wire values, it may not give complete picture and will require cautious, duplication of efforts to reproduce the same scenario.

The above feature may be high on memory when used, but can be of good value for users.

  Optional settings at Vi heirarchy to pick and choose subvis can reduce the memory overhead.

There's a JKI RCF plugin here that turns on "Retain Wire Values for the Whole Hierarchy' before running the VI and thus retain values in all the subVIs".

Thank You JCarmody, this will save lot of time for me.....!
