In addition to the integrated debugger, DAQFactory has a watch window that allows you to quickly view the results of any expressions.  Of course this same thing can be done using display variable value components on pages, but the watch window is often much more convenient, and as a docking window, remains visible no matter which page is displayed.  Also, the watch window allows you to view private variables when a sequence is being debugged.  The privates of the sequence function currently being debugged are only the only privates visible.

The watch window contains a table with 100 rows.  In any row, enter an expression in the Watch column.  The result will be displayed in the Value column of the same row.    This table updates about twice a second with the result of all the expressions.  To clear out a watch, simply erase the Watch expression.

Note: For efficiency and responsiveness reasons, expressions that result in an array with more than 20 values will only display the first 20 values.
