Add a sequence diagram logger

It can be hard to follow the flow of messages between DQMH module in a large project.

I find sequence diagrams great to document that, one tool that would rock is something that looks like a UML Sequence Diagram that is updated as messages are being sent. Columns generated the first time a module is started and then the lifelines of the modules are generated and terminated in their column.

Such a tool was created for the AF, so surely the same could be done for the DQMH.

I would also like to see some sort of program flow module that the developer or the user can view during run time that TiTou was commenting on. I created one for a simpler QMH that showed in a spreadsheet form, the events produced by the producing module+case and the events consumed by the consuming module+case. It also showed how many queues are on the stack for each module. This was very useful for troubleshooting the code for new developers inheriting the code. A developer or user could clear the log, press a button and watch program flow. The module also had an option to save this data to an Excel file. Below is a front panel view of the module. 

 

I'm new to DQMH and would like to say "What a cool tool" and hopefully I'm not missing something.

Dwackerbarth, 

 

Have you tried right-click on an event structure and using the event inspector while the program is running?

 

Titou, 

 

This is in my wish list for features for DQMH. We will see if we get there one day.

 

Thanks,

Fab
