How to step into CVI debug session from a Python script

[DanTheManQ]

I have my dll written in CVI that I would like to call from a Python script.  I was trying to figure out how to step into the DLL from my python script using the 'Select External Process' option in LabWindows. 

Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi dq,

What version of CVI are you using? Also, where is the option 'Select External Process' located in the menu's that you are refering to?

It sounds like you may want to use the Run»Specify Executable to Debug option in CVI and set the executable to your python script. Examples of doing this with LabVIEW and Visual Studio as the executable are shown below.
