Debug

Searching the Debug Slot

The Debug function also searches slots named debug. This can be quite useful, as you can have NTK automatically create debug slots for templates. Here are the conditions under which NTK will do so:

The project is built for debugging. "Compile for Debugging" on page 411 discusses how to build a project this way.
The template is named. See "Name Templates" on page 30.
The template doesn't already contain a debug slot.

Building your project for debugging makes for the easy retrieval of specific views using the template names you specified in NTK. For instance, you can find a cluster view using the name of its template:

theCluster := Debug("myRadioCluster");
