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)

-

Address + 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.
