History Probes

[JB]

So many times, Darren's history probes have been a great help while debugging my code ! This concept may be enhanced. But at least, these probes should ship with the LabVIEW installer.

Thanks for the shout out, JB!  I actually spec'ed out a way to add some nicer History Probes to LabVIEW 2009, but I simply didn't have time to work on them.  I told my boss the other day that I'd like to have some time to work on them in 2010...we'll see what happens!

Make sure they (the probe) are resizeable (so you can see less [or more]) of the history table (especially for usefull for string).

I know this an "old" great idea, but I've never seen it before.

I just want to point you this free toolkit available on the LVTN and VIPM --> http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/fr/nid/209756 Regards,

I think this is an excellent idea!

If this feature could be built in as an option for regular probes and then combined with the option to view two probes simultaneously you could view the whole history of a state-machine or similar structure. You could probe the state selector (string or enum or whatever) and the value you are interested in and view them side by side to see exactly what is going right and wrong!

I posted recently trying to find out if this feature is available - great to see it as a plugin but I think it should be part of the regular arsenal of tools!
