Labview execution halted by highlighting with bulb turned off, why? help!

[john_c_m]

Somehow I have gotten my VI into a state where it pauses execution at every step and highlites it. I can step through, but it won't execute withouth pausing How do I turn this off?

Do you have the pause button on? On either the front panel or block diagram, it's the fourth button over: ||. Make sure it's not red.

You might have set a breakpoint. You supposedly can remove it using the
tool that looks like a stop sign with on arrow at 135 deg. Also, check
under the Operate menu that you are in edit instead of run mode. You can
supposedly avoid the whole situation by clearing the VI property for Allow
Debugging. Look under File->VI Properties->Execution.

That was it!

There was a little red dot on a wire that is used at startup, so it stopped execution there. Ok, now I know that you can set break points on wires, too.

Thanks a lot for the help!
