save breakpoints

[MichaelAivaliotis]

When I add a breakpoint to a sequence file and save it, it's not really saved. Or its it? I'm confused. Someone please explain. What I want to do:

I'm loading a workspace and sequence file from a LabVIEW OI. Now I open the same sequence via the standard TS editor. I want to add a breakpoint in the TS editor and now when I execute the sequence from the LabVIEW OI, it will break. Is this possible? If not, what other options do I have?

Hey Michael,

You are right about the workspace file saving the break points.  When you are using an OI it can be a little tricky getting the new changes to show up in the OI.

For example, if I opened a sequence file from a workspace in a OI (by going to File » Browse Workspace and opening the sequence file there), the workspace is now in memory.

If you open the workspace file in the SequenceEditor, you can toggle breakpoints in a sequence file that is in that workspace.  If you save and close that workspace in SequenceEditor, you can now re-open the workspace in the OI to see those changes.  You must, however, reload the workspace into memory.  You can do this in the OI by navigating to File » Browse Workspace and then using the File Browse button to select the same workspace again.  If you open a sequence file from this workspace without first using the File Browse button, you will be opening the file from the "old" workspace (i.e. the one without the new breakpoint changes).

This behavior happens because the OI will keep a workspace file in memory until another (or a newer version of the same workspace) is loaded into memory explicitly (by using the File Browse button).  I hope this helps alleviate some confusion!

I tried what you mentioned and it has no effect. The LV OI simply does not break. I'm not sure if the problem is but I've moved on. If I need to break I run the sequence in the TS editor.

Hey Micheal,

I am sorry that the OI is not breaking for you.  When you load the sequence file in the OI, do you see the break points appear (and they do not break) or do the break points never show up in the sequence?
