Title: Command window alternative
Post by: felis.domestica on September 05, 2019, 08:08:57 AM

Hi List,

i was wondering if anyone of you uses a replacement command window terminal (if that is possible) and perhaps, if you do, can you tell me how? I find the command window part of PvxPlus slightly problematic to use.
Is it possible to use an external terminal program in the debugging environment?

Thanks

Since version 7 of PxPlus you have been able to debug any process of PxPlus running on the same system using the DBG command or the IT editor.

You can halt and step through the application, inspect variables, and trace the logic independent of the actual main process.
