CTRL Debugger Details

Communications Datapoints

Since the Debugger has an effect on the actual manager during debugging (see also Example), the managers have to communicate with each other. This is the function of the communication datapoints.

These datapoints are used to transfer the CTRL debug commands and their responses between the CTRL Debugger and the manager being debugged.

The datapoint types possess 2 elements: one for the command (command: string) and another for the result (result: dyn_string). The running scripts are saved in the result element with the absolute path.

The datapoints use the following naming convention (<x> stands for the manager number):

There is a datapoint for each manager that can be selected in the CTRLdbg-sel.pnl panel. A series of managers are already set up with default communication datapoints. If you need additional managers, add the datapoints for the managers.
