Hello,
We are developping some customs probes very useful for debugging and it will be very interesting to have developpers return on this subject.
What kind of probes did you use? What fonctionnality is not implemented in the existent probes on LabVIEW? Do you some ideas about some new probes?
You can find some customs probes developped by SAPHIR on VI Package Manager.

I'm curious because I have not used them (probes usually last about 5 minutes and are gone so I never saw the need).
So what am I missing?

Hi,
You can find a document on the SAPHIR group community :
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-18617
And you can find a video presenting some customs probe and the package to download on the LAVA discussion :
http://lavag.org/topic/13420-custom-probes/page__p__89142#entry89142
We try to ameliorate the development, more particularly the debuging and we are open to new ideas.

The custom probes I most often re-create are "MixedStringProbe" and "IntegerStyleI/UxxProbe". These probes simply allow the developer to change display style of a string and integer datatypes. Of course, if the generic probes defaulted to show display style they would not be needed

In the Vi Box Probes - SAPHIR these both case are managed.
For a string, you can change the display style.
For a numeric, you can change the radix and the display format.
All these changes can be done on 1D Array and 2D array too.
You can also keep an history of a string or a numeric.
I let you to have a quick look at this Toolkit.
Thanks for you return

There's this idea in the Idea Exchange to "View probe values within the code during execution".

I love custom probes. But most of time I use them, they are fairly special purpose. Two examples:

I've started a new topic on our NI Community group to discuss more about new probes we could add to our toolkit --> https://decibel.ni.com/content/thread/10828
Feel free to add your needs and feedbacks.
