Chapter 7 Creating RSBizWare Custom Analysis Tools
If your custom analysis tool does not work in the Configuration
Console the first time, you may need to debug your
Calculate()
function. The easiest way to do this is to use the Visual C++
debugger when running the Configuration Console as follows:
1. Select Project > Settings from the menu.
2. On the Project Settings dialog box shown below, select the
Debug tab. Make sure you have the Win32 Debug selected
from the Settings For list.
3. On the Executable for debug session box, click the arrow
button to browse and select the Configuration Console
executable (\Program Files\Rockwell
Software\RSBizWare\RSBizWare Production Client.exe).
4. Click OK to save your changes.
Now, when you debug the project, the Configuration Console will
be started. You then can set debug breakpoints in your
Calculate()
function. When you use your custom analysis tool in a time-series
chart, your breakpoints will be called in Visual C++. You can then
use the full power of the Visual C++ debugger to track down your
problem.
