Flowchart in Simulation

The Simulation Micro-Debugger was enhanced to allow debugging of Flowcharts. This is done by setting a breakpoint on a special subroutine, created by the Simulation Micro-Debugger for each Flowchart, through the “Simulation Breakpoint Editor”.

The special subroutine is named as follow:

“FLOW_<flowchart_name>_PROC”

with the “<flowchart_name>” being replaced with the actual Flowchart name.

When a Flowchart with a breakpoint set on it is executed, the Micro-Debugger pop-ups and highlights the executed Flowchart. The Micro-Debugger allows micro-stepping through the Flowchart while seeing it being animated as well as watching element changes in the Micro-Debugger monitor.
