Show Error Source.llb

 

Author: crandiba (CERN)

 This plugin shows an added option when right-clicking and error cluster with a flagged error. By clicking on the "Show Error Source", the plugin then proceeds to open the Block Diagram of the VI where the error originated from, and also attempts to highlight the (Go)Object in question. If more than one object of the same name is present, will skip this highlight. 

 

It is worth to mention a couple of improvements that could be made, one in regards to obtaining the object and VI name in a more robust manner, and the other to identifying the actual object in case of multiple being present. These issues are pointed out with comments in the code itself and I hope some improvements might eventually follow through, or that the functionality gets implemented natively by NI.

 

Many thanks,

Cris
