Introducing the Diagram Trace Utility › Debugging Components › Markers

Markers

Markers are objects that you can associate with specific lines of Diagram Trace PAD code. You can create the following types of markers during a debug session:

Bookmarks

Used to place anchors on a specific line of PAD code in a debug session. You can use these anchors as quick links to move from one source position or file to another. You can view all bookmarks that you have created in the Bookmarks view.

Breakpoints

Used to place markers on specific PAD statement lines to suspend program execution whenever the session encounters a breakpoint marker. You can view all breakpoints that you have created in the Breakpoints view.

You can set breakpoints at the Action Diagram level and at the Window GUI Event method level to stop:

• At a specific PAD statement line
• At a specific PAD statement line if a user-defined condition is satisfied
• At the entrance of or just before the exit of an Action Diagram
• When a specified data item changes value
