Single step in LabWindows/CVI

[Peggy]

I can insert break points in my code, but I would like to be able to single step through the code once it is stopped at a break point. Is this possible? If so, how??
Thanks,
Peggy

Just look under the Run menu option.

Thanks, but that doesn't help me. I still can't figure out what option allows single stepping!

Peggy,

There are 3 functions that you use for stepping into the code. First you need to break the execution with a breakpoint or by manually breaking the execution in the CVI window.

Once the execution is halted in CVI 7 there are 5 functions to navigate through the code; you can access them from the menu or from the toolbar, they are between the "go" and "stop" buttons. Here is a short explanation on this:

• Go To Cursor: Executes until the code reaches the current cursor position
  
• Set Next Statement: Sets the next statement (allows you to go back in the code)
  
• Step Into: Single stepping and going into the code for each function.
  
• Step Over: Single stepping without going to the code behind a function.
  
• Finish Function: Executes u
  ntil it finds the end of that function.
  

You can find a more in depth description of this in the CVI help.

I hope this helps.

Yes, this does help. The big 'ah ha' light just went on. Thanks!
