Ned options
(Redirected from Ned)
Ned, the friendly configuration manager is a debug feature of LabVIEW in form of a window with list of options. The private, internal set of settings available on that list allow changing various aspects of LabVIEW inner mechanisms.
These settings are not saved across LabVIEW sessions, but many of the options are also valid LabVIEW configuration file keys.
Enabling Ned Options
Like Heap Peek, Ned Options keyboard shortcut is by default disabled in fresh installations of LabVIEW. To enable it:
- Close LabVIEW
- Put the key "LVdebugKeys=True" in your LabVIEW configuration file
Then, to launch the Ned Options window:
- Open your VI
- Press one of the following key combinations, depending on your situation:
- (LabVIEW 2025 Q1 and earlier) Press Ctrl + Shift + D + N.
- (LabVIEW 2025 Q3 and later) Press Ctrl + Shift + : + N (that's a colon).
- On Mac, use the Cmd key instead of Ctrl.
Using Ned Options
Clicking once on a option will switch it, cycling through two or more values.
