DETT Trace private methods

[pktl2k]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to get some user-defined trace events from a private method. That doesn't work however: They don't show up in DETT. I can generate trace events from public methods just fine.

Is there a way to enable this besides making all methods public for debugging?

As I use AF a lot I use: 'AF Debug.lvlib:Generate Custom Trace.vi'.

Make sure that you have 'User-Defined Trace Events' selected in capture settings in DETT

Sorry for not replying and digging this up again. But I think, I found out what happened. ('User-Defined Trace Events' is switched on, btw.)

The problem is probably unrelated to a method being private. That was just a coincidence.

• If I start a trace before I start my application, all vi's seem to be showing up in DETT.
• But if I start the trace while the application is already running, not all vi's are showing up.

I didn't bother with finding out the condition for a vi to show up in DETT and its not mentioned in the documentation. Maybe someone has an explanation?
