Adding and using breakpoints
Adding and removing breakpoints
Breakpoints can be toggled on or off by selecting the icon at which point you wish to break and selecting Toggle Breakpoint from the Edit menu. Alternatively you can toggle the breakpoint with the F9 function key.
To clear all breakpoints select Clear All Breakpoints from the Edit menu.
Using breakpoints
When a flowchart is simulating it will stop at the first breakpoint that it reaches. Pressing Play again will resume program flow - to the next breakpoint if there are more than one.
When at a breakpoint the user can examine variable values, inputs and outputs etc.
Breakpoints are useful for stopping the program at the start of a problematic piece of code to allow the user to step through and debug the code.
If the ICD Mode is enabled in your project options then enabling a breakpoint will cause the ICD hardware to stop the target on a particular flowchart icon.
