I got this idea for a new tool in LabVIEW and sent it to NI, but I am curios to hear if others think it would be useful:

In LabVIEW execution highlighting is used to show the execution of a VI.
Unfortunately it is only possible to turn the feature on or off manually possibly in combination with break point to skip over loops etc. to save time..

My suggestion is to make a new "Execution Highlight Point" that can turn highlighting on or off.
So when execution reaches the highlight on point the the execution highlight is automatically turned on until a highlight off point is reached.
The Execution Highlight Point should have scope within the VI, meaning that highlighting is turned off automatically when the VI ends.

This will make it possible to focus debugging on the relevant part of a VI and skip time consuming loops etc. automatically.

This tool would be relevant to all versions of LabVIEW on all platforms.
