Note: A many to one NVI in Lon Spyder cannot be selected for debugging.
To select points that you need to debug:
| Name | Definition |
| Select Function Block | Shows all the Function Blocks, SBus wall module, Conventional wall module, Physical I\Os, Network Variables, Bacnet Objects, and Software Inputs that are not constants that have output points and are connected to other functional blocks or network variables. It also displays all OUT parameters of both SBus and conventional wall modules. |
| Select Output Points | Shows all the output points of selected Function Blocks, SBus wall module, Conventional wall module, Physical I\O, Network Variables, Bacnet Objects, and Software Inputs that are not constants and are connected to other functional blocks or network variables. |
| Watch Window/ | Shows the selected output points that appear in the watch window. You must select the option to view points in watch window check box to be able to see the values in the watch window. |
| Point Name | Shows the values of the output points in the watch window. |
| Select point path | Indicates the location of the component. It is a relative and not an absolute path |
| Select point ord | Indicates the absolute path. It can be used to resolve the component. |
| OK | Saves the selected points to be debugged and closes the dialog box. |
| Cancel | Closes the dialog box. Any operation done so far is cancelled. |
Note: Use the Select All option to select all points selected for
debugging to be displayed in the watch window.
You can use the left arrow button to remove the selected points to the Select Output
Points list. This removes the points from being selected for debugging or from being shown
in the watch window.
If you select All in the Select Function Blocks list and
double-click it, all points are shown in the third column with the watch window option
checked.
You can select points for debugging in the Engineering and Online Debugging modes. However, the selected points are displayed, in a watch window at the bottom of the wiresheet, only in the Online Debugging or Simulation modes. Use this to analyze your application logic and to find the field values being returned based on the logic you have defined.
To hide or display the watch window:
The watch window disappears or appears from the wiresheet.
