tips for debugging large node networks

Beginners
1

I’ve been adding echo statements in DAT scripts and watching the output in the text port to see what’s going on and this is very helpful. Now I’d like to do the same with things other than scripts. Is there an equivalent way to get some text echo’d out whenever a node is entered/executed?

Also, if anyone has tips on other ways to determine the flow of action thru a network of nodes, I’d be very grateful to hear those.

Thanks in advance for any help,

The Performance Monitor is what you’re looking for. Its under Dialogs.
There is also a wiki article that gives some details about how it works.
