I have 2 suggestions for the highlight feature.
- A slide bar or some other way to set the speed that the highlight runs.
- A way to only highlight a section of code but run the rest full speed.
Maybe it could it be done by selecting an area, as done with the diagram disable?
Or with break points. Highlight between points?
Most of the time when highlighting, you don’t need the entire VI to highlight just one small section or frame. So, you put in a break point before and after the section you want. When the code pauses, you turn highlight on. When it pauses again, you turn it off. On large loop iterations, this is very time consuming.
An example would be for nested loops. If there are 3 nested loops and you would like to highlight one small area of code in the second loop. You have to: continually wait for the inner loop in highlight, or pause-highlight-unpause every iteration.
