Working with HALCON Variable Inspect🔗

HALCON includes an extension for the inspection of HALCON variables in Microsoft Visual Studio (compare the system requirements). While debugging HALCON programs, “HALCON Variable Inspect Extension for Visual Studio” allows you to inspect the current values of initialized control and iconic variables. You can set breakpoints at the desired places or single-step through your program.

Restrictions when using HALCON Variable Inspect

  • HALCON Variable Inspect cannot inspect objects located in GPU memory. You can only inspect objects if they are stored in CPU memory.
  • HALCON Variable Inspect does not support remote debugging. You can only inspect processes that are running on the same machine.
  • At the moment, HALCON Variable Inspect does not work with C++/CLI applications. The only supported combinations are native C++ with HALCON/C++, C# with HALCON/.NET, and Visual Basic .NET with HALCON/.NET.
  • HALCON Variable Inspect cannot be used to inspect images with fewer channels than the default number of channels for HImage.
  • You cannot use HALCON Variable Inspect with Visual Studio Express as it does not support extensions.
