JackDunaway Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 To enable private context tracing in Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit, in the file %LocalAppData%\National Instruments\Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit\DETT.ini place the following: [Preference] ShowPrivateContext="True" It's important to ensure DETT is closed down when you change the file; on exit, DETT flushes to file it's currently loaded settings. (Placing this info here with some searchable terms, to save my future self that infrequent 20-minute spelunking exercise of finding it again) 1 Quote Link to comment
mje Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 What is meant by private context? Quote Link to comment
JackDunaway Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 What is meant by private context? Generally, this is not recommended (or even useful at all!) unless developing IDE mods and/or XNodes. Quote Link to comment
mje Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hah. Got it. "Context" can mean many things, depending on...context? 2 Quote Link to comment
hooovahh Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hah. Got it. "Context" can mean many things, depending on...context? They aren't the same, but another term you maybe more familiar with is Instance, as in Application Instance. Quote Link to comment
Sparkette Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I saw something in the GenerateCode ability VI for one of NI's XNodes that says to open the VI in the NI.LV.XNode context. Would this let me do that? Quote Link to comment
Mellroth Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I saw something in the GenerateCode ability VI for one of NI's XNodes that says to open the VI in the NI.LV.XNode context. Would this let me do that? You can open a VI in any context you want by using the code Jack showed earlier to get the context references. Then use any of these references as an input to the Open VI method, to open your VI. /J Quote Link to comment
Sparkette Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Yeah I figured that, but I was wondering if maybe there was an easier way I could enable that NI used to debug xnodes. Quote Link to comment
windjmj Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 But in Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit 2016, I can't found the %LocalAppData%\National Instruments\Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit\DETT.ini File. Quote Link to comment
jacobson Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'm sure you got this working by now but did you run DETT in LabVIEW 2016 before looking for the .ini? I just had to change this ini last week and found it in the location you listed. Quote Link to comment
