(either a Scalar or Array 1D) displays consecutive input as a
history of previous values. You can also use a Counter to see
how many times an object ran.
Using Breakpoints
A breakpoint causes a program to pause before it executes a
particular object. You can set breakpoints in a program to
examine the data. When a breakpoint is set on an object, the
object is highlighted with an orange colored outline. When
the program runs, it will pause before executing that object.
1 Set a breakpoint on a single object. Double- click the title
bar of an object to get the Properties dialog box, then
select Breakpoint Enabled and click OK. Then select Debug
⇒
Activate Breakpoints. Run the program. It will pause at
the object with the breakpoint.
2 Set additional breakpoints on several other objects. Select
the objects. (Press Ctrl and click on each object.) Click
the Toggle Breakpoint(s) button on the tool bar as shown in
Figure 62. (You could also press Ctrl-B.) Run the
program again. The program pauses at the first object
with a breakpoint set.

3 Resume the program to continue and pause at the next
object with a breakpoint set. Click the Resume button on
the tool bar, shown in
Figure 63. (Also in the Debug
menu.)
