automatically increase timeout period when execution is highlighted

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 3 kudos within 3 years after posting will be automatically declined.

when I program using queues, I prefer to set a sensible timeout period on the dequeue VI

 

however, when I run the highlight execution tool, suddenly the timeout periods need to be set a lot longer to compensate for the slower execution....in fact I get lots of spurious timeouts, caused by the debugging process

 

it would be great if there was an option to suspend timeout, or make the timeout period X times longer, when execution is highlighted

 

even a VI to detect that execution has been highlighted would help solve the problem

 

this would be useful for other communication mechanisms as well, notifiers etc.......

in addition timing, like wait_n_ms, timed loops, should be automatically changed to execute only once per loop.
