Way to monitor vi current status?

[John Roehling]

I have the problem that I have a .vi that was working just fine..then I started messing with the code, and now it gets stuck and doesn't finish the operation that was working.  I have tried, but cannot find the problem.  Is there a way to monitor the current operation that Labview is doing at a given moment? (other than breakpoints).

Turn on Highlight execution, the lightbulb on the block diagram toolbar.  You can also use the probe tools (watch window) to monitor specific lines as well.

You can use my Abort.vi to see which VIs are running.  It'll give you the option to close them, but you can use it just to see what's going on.

Thanks to both of you. Very helpful.

Then you should mark Jim's or Moreese's message as the solution to your problem rather than your own thank you message.  Go to the options menu to the upper right of your message and Unmark as Solution.  Then you can properly go to one of their messages and mark it as the solution.

Thank you for pointing that out. I clicked the wrong message.
