Figure 7-1. Variables Window
The Variables window shows all currently defined variables in LabWindows/CVI.
LabWindows/CVI updates variables in this window at each breakpoint. The vertical bars
separate the window into three scrollable fields: name, value, and variable type. You can
change the width of the fields by dragging the vertical bars with the mouse. The window is
also divided into two horizontal sections: the Global subwindow and the function subwindow.
The Global subwindow displays the following variables:
•
Project globals that include all global variables not declared as static
•
Interactive Execution window variables declared in the Interactive Execution window
•
Global variables declared as static
The function subwindow displays function parameters and local variables from currently
active functions. The variable list for each function appears in a different section. For any
given function, the Variables window lists formal parameters first followed by local variables.
Formal parameters appear in italics.
