Description:

LabVIEW Task Manager is a debugging tool for use during LabVIEW code development. An expandable/collapsible tree diagram displays detailed information (both static and dynamic) on all VIs in memory, belonging to a selected project/target. It allows for interacting with single or multiple selected VIs at a time, and includes the following major features:

• Selection of project/target
• Lists all VIs in memory, grouped by class/library or disk folder, or a flat list
• Searches for and enumerates clones in memory
• DropIn VI for including dynamically referenced clones (Clone Beacon)
• 'Refresh Now' (F5) re-reads all VIs in memory and adds new ones to the tree
• Displays VI name, owning class/library, state, path, data size & code size
• Displays VI FP Behavior, Reentrant?, Reentrancy Type, Paused? & Highlight?
• Group by Class/Library or Folder, or display a Flat List
• Sort by any column, ascending or descending
• Filter out item types vi, ctl, and vit/ctt
• Filter out vi.lib and global VIs
• Filter out items from being displayed, per folder paths.
• Tracking of, and ability to toggle, execution highlighting on multiple selected VIs
• Tracking of paused VIs with ability to Pause/Resume/TogglePause multiple selected VIs
• DropIn VI for pausing only while debugging
• If a clone initiates a pause, a different pause symbol is used for all clones of that same reentrant original VI
• Select multiple VIs and open or close their FPs or BDs
• Double Click a VI from the tree to bring the BD (first choice) or FP to front, if already open
• Select multiple top-level VIs and Abort them
• Remotely close any VI's Front Panel

Installation and instructions:

Install this tool by using the VI Package Manager to install its associated package file (.vip). Installation requires VIPM 2014 or higher, which is available for free from jki.net (http://jki.net/vipm).
