Reading offline exe/dll memory dump

[uriyal]

Hi,

I know from my late experiance with Visual Studio (which produces *.pdb file) that memory crash dump can be analyzed with WinDbg.

Is there any matching application for *.cdb which is produces by Labwindows/CVI?

or there are any way to see why the crash happened offline? (offline - after the memory had been dumped)

Best Regards,

Uriya.

The CDB files require a National Instruments internal tool to decrypt. For local debugging, you would be better off using the ConfigCVILogging.exe application available in <National Instruments>/CVI2013/bin to configure an ASCII file to log messages such as errors and warnings. This tool should allow you to view crash data offline.

Thanks for your reply,

I've tried ConfigCVILogging.exe but it didn't shed any light on the crash.

Do you know if there a way getting the internal app that you've mentioned (debug .cdb files) ?

Best Regards,

You could try checking "Generate map file" in Build >> Target settings window: this could at least help you pointing out which function the error raised in if the crash generates an error message with a memory location to look for.

Thanks for your reply,

I'll try crossing the memory location where the crash happened with 'Generate map file' .

I will post here my result. hope it will be soon 🙂
