Trying to debug a CVI exe calling TestStand sequences which call a CVI dll.

[mjl]

HI,

    I have a chip handler program w/ui in CVI that I have running TestStand sequences through ActiveX.  I pass pointers into TestStand for the data returned by the tests.  The TestStand sequences call functions in a DLL created through CVI.  How can I debug in both CVI and TestStand.  I am trying to verify the complex data structures.  I would like to see the actual variables in both programs to verify that everything is mapped properly.  I know I could use print statements in TestStand but it would be messy.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

     I read that thread before I posted mine.  Unfortunately it doesn't really apply.  I am running an exe created in LabWindows which use ActiveX to run test sequences.  The test sequences run functions from a DLL.  I have no problem debugging the DLL and exe, I don't know how to link in to debug TestStand.  I can debug just the sequences and DLL using TestStand, but the situation I have is more complex in that the data comes from an EXE which then calls the sequences.  I need to start in CVI and then have the TestStand debugger start.  If not, is there a way to link an exe to TestStand.  I hope this make sense.
