Use the VisualDSP++ Target Configuration dialog box to configure the debug options.

Complete the following steps to configure the debug options.

1. Right-click a Blackfin target in the Project Explorer window and select Configure Target from the shortcut menu to open the VisualDSP++ Target Configuration dialog box.
2. Click the Debug Options tab.
3. Move the Front Panel / Probe Update Period (ms) slider or enter a number in the numeric control to change the rate that front panel indicators update while debugging.
4. (Optional) Place a checkmark in the Synchronize front panel updates checkbox if you want the Blackfin application to pause while all front panel controls and indicators update.
5. (Serial Debugging Only) Select the COM port for the host computer from the COM port pull-down menu. Use the COM port with the instrumented serial port debugging mode.
6. (Optional) Enter an address in the Host IP text box to assign an IP address to override automatic IP address detection. You only can use this option if you also select Instrumented (via TCP port) in the Build Specification Properties dialog box.
7. (Optional) Place a checkmark in the Allow probing of scalar arrays checkbox if you want to probe scalar arrays. Large arrays can take time to update.
8. (Optional) Place a checkmark in the Allow probing of scalar clusters checkbox if you want to probe scalar clusters.
9. (Optional) Place a checkmark in the Debug using the VisualDSP++ IDDE checkbox if you want to enable dual debugging with LabVIEW and VisualDSP++. Dual debugging is available only for non-instrumented debugging using JTAG/EZ-KIT USB debugging mode.
10. (Optional) Place a checkmark in the Trace all debugging commands checkbox to write all debug commands to a text file. The debug text file is named VDspDebugServer.log and is located in the labview\vi.lib\LabVIEW Targets\Embedded\VDSP directory.

    Note  The VDspDebugServer.log file can become large quickly, so you might want to trace debugging commands for only a short amount of time.

11. Adjust the maximum number of elements in the array by adjusting the Max array elements numeric control. For one-dimensional arrays, LabVIEW clips values that are greater than the maximum number of elements in the array you define. For two-dimensional arrays, LabVIEW does not show any values outside of the maximum number of elements you define.
12. Click the OK button.
