There is no break point support for LabTalk function yet.

You can add code like

xVal =;//dump value to script window
return xVal;

function double dCubeRoot(double dVal)
{
  double xVal;
  if(dVal<0) xVal = -exp(ln(-dVal)/3);
  else xVal = exp(ln(dVal)/3);

  #! type "DB Dump: dCubeRoot($(dVal)) = $(xVal,*12)";
 
  return xVal;
}

LabTalk function is new and when more people are using it, we will put in the effort to hook up break point support. Currenly, you can use break point with ogs file section scripts.

Before that, you have to use the good old technique of dumping values in your function. And you can also use the type command to dump more info. You can also use the #! technique to keep the debugging code and wake them up only via @B=1, see

http://wiki.originlab.com/~originla/wiki/index.php?title=Script:Debugging_Tools#.23.21script_.28special_syntax.29


so your function could be written as

function double dCubeRoot(double dVal)
{
  double xVal;
  if(dVal<0) xVal = -exp(ln(-dVal)/3);
  else xVal = exp(ln(dVal)/3);

  #! type "DB Dump: dCubeRoot($(dVal)) = $(xVal,*12)";
 
  return xVal;
}

Having the #! marking will make it easy for you to remove them once you know the function is working well.
