InstrumentStudio Freezes During Session Reconfiguration from NI .NET Debugging

Updated Nov 13, 2025

Issue Details

InstrumentStudio freezes (shows indefinite buffering) when trying to reconfigure an instrument session that was launched from a C# application using NI .NET examples.

Solution

It is likely the case that debugging was not enabled for the instrument in InstrumentStudio. 

Enable debugging for the instrument:

  • Click the Settings cogwheel for the instrument in Instrument Studio.
  • Select Configure Debug Session.
  • Enable C/C++/.NET debugging for the device.
  • Enable Using Breakpoints
