Just allow a persistent conditional probe.

You would mark it the same way as you would any probe, but it's
existence would get saved with the VI and you would setup the
conditional the same way you would any other custom probe.

From there give the developer the ability to, via options, set it's
corresponding action to the condition {openBD, start Highlight,
breakpoint, save data, etc}

So tell me... what would be the least amount of work that you would need

from the internals of LabVIEW to be able to extend this in the maximum
possible way?

Suppose there was simply a way to mark a node or wire or diagram
(hereafter abbreviated NWD) with some sort of trigger while the VI is
running (as you do with a breakpoint today) and a way of setting a
callback VI that fired whenever any of these triggers was hit. Maybe
you'd
need different types of triggers and a way to register a different VI
for
each type.

Thoughts? I wouldn't be the developer working on this, so this is me
brainstorming as much as any of you. Goal is to find the minimum set of
new features that achieves the maximum bang for G developers.

Pojundery,
