Property	Value	Description
Enabled	`true` or `false`	Turns use of this block on and off. `true` causes the Debug Block to processes requests based on the `Debug Mode` property and updates the `Results` property. `false` disables processing. Regardless of the `Enabled` property value, the Debug Block always passes the unmodified value or trend data through to the downstream linked blocks.
Debug Mode	See Debug mode check boxes	Controls specific results so that you can better understand and explain the results you are receiving.
Print Trend to Console	`true` or `false`	Controls the trend rows that appear in the console. When `true`, the framework prints every row of a trend to the console where you can view each row in the Application Director.
Results	data	Provides details about the request parameters and, for value requests, the resulting value.
