The NightStar LX suite includes four tools -- the NightView[TM] source-level debugger (programming, tool) source-level debugger - A debugger that shows the programmer the line or expression in the source code that resulted in a particular machine code instruction of a running program loaded in memory. , the NightTrace[TM] event analyzer, the NightProbe[TM] data monitor, and the NightTune[TM] system and application tuner.

The NightView debugger offers many features not available in the gnu debugger. Users can debug multiple processes from a single session and processes started from scripts. While a process is executing, hot patching can modify variables or add eventpoints. Monitor points can dynamically display expressions and variables.

NightStar is especially valuable in cases where the act of debugging may change an application's behavior. NightStar gives true visibility into a running application providing a synchronized, time-based view of events, states, data values and resource usage. The NightTrace analyzer allows users to display application behavior and performance, and understand how threads interact with each other.

NightStar LX features a Qt-based GUI with modern rendering, shading and option control that makes it flexible and easy to use on multi-core environments. NightStar LX allows individual tool panels to be moved and resized so users can conveniently customize their debugging displays.
