Finding running sub vis

Hi,

 

I am an occasional user of LabVIEW and I get out of touch between times.  Is there a way of homing in on VIs that are hogging the CPU?

 

I know there is a profiler and I have seen mention of VIs that can stop modal VIs but I am thinking of something like in VI heirarchy view clicking a button and it shows whereabouts the action is.  It would look pretty impressive.

 

Or even if when you click pause on the top level VI have something which you could make pop up showing all the VI's that were currently executing.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

I would got tools<<profile<<performance and memory and check memory usage on the top level VI this will give you the best prospective of how much memory each of your sub VI's are using. I don't know of anything else that exist that does what you are describing. I'm sure that you could probably create a custom VI that uses activeX controls to perform such a task. You may want to look into the VI analyzer but I don't think that it tests for memory usage.
