Setting a Breakpoint
Use the Breakpoint option to set or clear breakpoints. You can set and
clear breakpoints from the Diagram menu only after the diagram is
downloaded. GML Commander supports up to 10 breakpoints.
When a block has a breakpoint set, its validation checkmark is
highlighted in a black square. When a breakpoint is reached, the block
with the breakpoint is highlighted.
Note: Every time you make a functional change to a diagram, you need
to download the diagram again.
Important: It is possible to continue execution through breakpoints (trap
mode) or to stop at a breakpoint. See Resuming the Execution
of a Paused Program for information about resuming a
program.
