7.2 ASM Watch Window
The ASM watch window is a window in which you can register specific addresses as watchpoints and
inspect memory contents at those addresses.
If a registered address resides within the RAM monitor area, the memory content at that address is
updated at given intervals (by default, every 100 ms) during program execution.
• The addresses to be registered are called the "watchpoints." One of the following can be
registered:
-
Address (can be specified using a symbol)
-
A Bit number
-
Bit symbol
• The registered watchpoints are saved in the debugger when the ASM watch window is closed and
are automatically registered when the window is reopened.
• If symbols or bit symbols are specified for the watchpoints, the watchpoint addresses are
recalculated when downloading the target program.
• The invalid watchpoints are marked by "-<not active>-" when displayed on the screen.
• The order in which the watchpoints are listed can be changed by a drag-and-drop operation.
• The watchpoint expressions, sizes, radixes and datas can be changed by in-place editing.
ATTENTION
•
The RAM monitor obtains the data accessed through the bus. Any change other than the access
from the target program will not be reflected.
•
If the display data length of the RAM monitor area is not 1 byte, the data's access attribute to the
memory may varies in units of 1 byte. In such a case that the access attribute is not unified
within a set of data, the data's access attribute cannot be displayed correctly. In this case, the
background colors the access attribute color of the first byte of the data.
