How do I turn off but not remove all breakpoints?

[Dave123]

Hi,

I have several breakpoints in my LabView program and after having made changes to hopefully get it right I want to turn them off and allow it to run all the way through without stopping.

I don't want to remove them in case there are still problems so I can turn them back on and run it again.


So is there a way to turn all breakpoints on/off collectively?

Thanks,
Dave.

It's a bit of a kludge but you can put a case structure around each of the breakpoints and tie an enable/disable global boolean to the case control inputs.

Thanks - I'll try that if things get really desperate.

Cheers,
Dave.

Switch off the 'Allow debugging' feature (under 'VI Properties...->Execution'. The breakpoints are still there (and can be saved with the VI) but the VI doesn't stop at the breaks.
You have to do it for each VI or write a tool to switch the feature off programatically (and switch it back on later). Maybe someone has written such a tool...

hi

good idea franz!

there's a property of the Application object which returns the names of all vis in memory. make a for-loop over the names, open a reference to the vi (using the name) and set the property franz talked about. i hope this property can be set during runtime!

best regards

If you don't mind giving up execution highlighting as well, then this would seem to be a reasonable solution. I've attached a VI that will do as Franz has suggested. It seems to work well enough but it was quickly thrown together so it may not be 100% bulletproof.
