Define System Analyzer Breakpoints

Use the Breakpoints window (accessed within the System Analyzer window) to define breakpoints, which pause CSM when a specific operation is found.

Good to know:

  • CSM will not pause for breakpoints unless the System Analyzer is open and running.
  • During the pause, you can examine the data to determine if the application is functioning as expected, and then step operation by operation to see what is happening behind-the-scenes.
  • Delete all breakpoints from the list by clicking the Delete button Delete Button.
  • Deselect all breakpoints by clicking the Clear button System Analyzer Clear Button.
  • Select all breakpoints by clicking the Select button System Analyzer Messages Button.
  • If a breakpoint is deselected, the System Analyzer will not stop when the breakpoint is encountered during a process. This allows you to save commonly used breakpoints in the Breakpoints window for later use.

To define a System Analyzer breakpoint:

  1. Open the System Analyzer.
  2. Click the Breakpoints button System Analyzer Breakpoint Button.
