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.
