The Software emulator has some user setup options. The first four options are
to setup screen fonts for CPU window, RAM Window, Program Window and
Project Window. The

Verbose C– – menu selection can be toggled to inhibit

the insertion of extraneous comment lines in the assembly code generated by
the C– – compiler. The

Debugging option is checked, the monitor routine

output is sent to a dump file.

The

Misc... menu option allows the user to set a certain number of options for

the emulator. When this option is clicked, a dialog box appears (Figure 5–27).

The

Chip Select... option allows the users to force a choice between the

MSP50P60 and MSP50P614/MSP50C614 development systems. Note that
the development systems are automatically detected when the software is
started, as long as the development board is connected and powered up.
Default is MSP50P614.

Windows related options are available in the Windows menu as shown in
Figure 5–28.
