The Axxon PSIM software package officially supports debugger Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

The Axxon PSIM software package allows using third-party debuggers for processing JScript scripts. These programs may have the functionality that is not included in the Editor-Debugger utility, for example, step-by-step script execution, watching script variables during script execution, etc.

 We do not recommend using third-party debuggers, since they do not provide full compatibility with the Axxon PSIM software, and may lead to failure of the Axxon PSIM software.

We strongly recommend introducing the breakpoint in the script when using third-party debuggers. To insert the breakpoint, add the following line to the script: “debugger;”. The script execution will pause at this line, and the debugger will start.

When a third-party debugger is used, scripts can be started with test events only.

To start the script using a third-party debugger, do the following:

  1. Create the script and insert the “debugger;” line in it.
  2. Create a test event for the script.
  3. In the Debug and edit menu, select Test run in third-party debugger.
  4. The Just-In-Time Debugging window will open. Select one of the debuggers installed on the computer.
  5. Click Yes to confirm the selection.

In case of a successful syntax check (no errors found before the “debugger;” line), the third-party debugger will start. The script will pause at the breakpoint.

Example. A script with the use of the breakpoint when Macro 1 starts.

 if (Event.SourceType== "MACRO" && Event.SourceId=="1" && Event.Action == "RUN"); //start Macro 1
{
debugger; // breakpoint
DebugLogString ("Hello world");
}
