Re: RE: Fluke 9010a question
I agree with James B, what game are you working on? But I don't agree with James B on the watchdog disable, you can configure the Fluke to ignore the watchdog. Depends on what you are doing. I do agree with his suggestion that this could be your problem (faulty watchdog). Your thinking about running the board & seeing where it crashes is better suited for a Logic Analyzer than a Fluke, since the LA may be configured to tell you the line before your crash. Kev

Usually that will tell you what is happening or not happening. (Note that you have to disable the watchdog when using a fluke, so even if you could execute code line-by-line you wouldn't easily be able to tell what is wrong.)
If you give more specifics, other people familiar with the board that you're working might be able to help.

I have a board that resets immediately upon power up. So, since all of the normal stuff has been checked and rechecked, I was hoping I could execute the code line by line and see when the board resets..

No, not really. What are you trying to do?

The manual can't seem to provide the answer for me or at least I cant find it in there.. So,
Is there a way with the Fluke to execute code one command at a time? IE: Run UUT at 3000 and hit a button on the fluke after each op.

You can't always disable the reset or watchdog in software. You can ignore the reset line, but sometimes the watchdog can mess up your standard tests. (I *think* Centipede is an example of this... Been a while since I tried it.) I used to just ignore the status line via software, but nowadays I always ground the watchdog disable.
