Exiting the Program
Caution:
Some of the commands available to you from this menu are designed for advanced
debugging and system testing only, and can cause the module to stop communicating with the
processor or with other devices, resulting in potential data loss or other failures. Only use these
commands if you are specifically directed to do so by ProSoft Technology Technical Support staff.
Some of these command keys are not listed on the menu, but are active nevertheless. Please be
careful when pressing keys so that you do not accidentally execute an unwanted command.

3.2.11 Data Analyzer
The data analyzer mode allows you to view all bytes of data transferred on each
port. Both the transmitted and received data bytes are displayed. Use of this
feature is limited without a thorough understanding of the protocol.
Important:
When in analyzer mode, program execution will slow down. Only use this tool during a
trouble-shooting session. Before disconnecting from the Config/Debug port, please be sure to
press [S] to stop the Data Analyzer before returning to the main menu or disconnecting from the
port. This action will allow the module to resume its normal operating mode.
