Technical Tip : Debugging Vega Prime Applications
 
Most Vega Prime customers use more than our graphical interface LynX Prime. They normally write C++ application code to control the 3D rendering environment.

As with any programming, it is easy to make mistakes with your code, leading to memory leaks, incorrect results, or even crashes. Our technical support team as much experience helping customers fix their coding problems.
