Watch panel


This panel is used to display the contents of the registered watch-expressions and change their values (see "2.10.6 Display/change watch-expressions").

Up to a maximum of four of these panels can be opened. Each panel is identified by the names "Watch1", "Watch2", "Watch3", and "Watch4" on the titlebar, and the watch-expressions can be registered/deleted/moved individually.

Watch-expressions can be registered in this panel as well as in the Editor panel, Disassemble panel, Memory panel, CPU Register panel, Local Variables panel or IOR panel.

When the panel is closed with registered watch-expressions, the panel closes but the information on the registered watch-expressions is retained. Therefore, if the same panel is opened again, it is opened with the watch-expressions registered.

The display contents are automatically updated when the value of the watch-expression changes after a program is executed (when the execution is done in steps, the display is updated after each step).

In addition, by enabling the Real-time display update function, it is also possible to update the display contents in real-time even while a program is being executed.

This panel appears only when connected to the debug tool.

Caution

When the selected microcontroller supports multi-core, this panel displays/changes the value regarding a core (PE) by switching selection between the target cores (see "2.7 Select a Core (PE)").

Remark 1.

This panel can be zoomed in and out by in the tool bar, or by moving the mouse wheel forward or backward while holding down the [Ctrl] key.

Remark 2.

When the separator line of each area in this panel is double-clicked, the width of the area changes to the shortest possible size that can display the contents of the area.

All the registered watch-expressions are displayed in a list.

Clicking the title of the list in this area sorts the watch-expressions in the list in alphabetical order. Categories (folders) can be created to categorize the watch-expressions and display them in the tree view (see "(a) Tree editing").

The meanings of the icons are as follows:

 

Indicates that the watch-expression belonging to this category is displayed. When you double-click on the icon, or click on the "-" mark, the category is closed and the watch-expression is hidden.

 

Indicates that the watch-expression belonging to this category is hidden. When you double-click on the icon, or click on the "+" mark, the category is opened and the watch-expression is displayed.

 

Indicates that the watch-expression is a variable.

At the top of the watch-expression represents arrays, pointer type variables, and structures/unions, "+"/"-" mark is displayed. Click the mark to Expand/shrink display.

 

Indicates that the watch-expression is a function.

 

Indicates that the watch-expression is an immediate value.

 

Indicates that the watch-expression is an expression.

 

Indicates that the watch-expression is I/O register.

 

Indicates that the watch-expression is CPU register.

At the top of the watch-expression that has the lower level register (part of the register), "+"/"-" mark is displayed. Click the mark to Expand/shrink display.

 

This area is provided with the following functions.

(a)

Tree editing

Watch-expressions can be categorized (by folders) and displayed in the tree view.

To create a category, click the button on the toolbar or select [Create Category] from the context menu after moving the caret to the position to create a category, and then input a desired name from the keyboard.

Remark 1.

A symbol name at the current caret position can be complemented by pressing the [Ctrl] + [Space] key in this area (see "2.19.2 Symbol name completion function").

Remark 2.

An immediate value is treated as an address. Note, however, that an immediate value with operators cannot be used.

Remark 3.

An arithmetic expression with symbols cannot be used for a watch-expression.

Remark 4.

If the same name exists either in C language variables, CPU registers or I/O registers, and it is registered without specifying scopes, then its value will be displayed after the symbol is determined in the following order.
Variable of C language > CPU registers > I/O register
If "$" is specified at the top of a watch-expression, then its value will be displayed after the symbol is determined in the following order.
CPU registers > I/O register > Variable of C language


Remark 5.

If a local variable and a global variable exist with the same name, and its symbol name is registered without specifying scopes, then its value will be displayed after the symbol is determined based on the scope of the current PC value.

Remark 6.

If the letter "I" alone is specified as a watch-expression, it is interpreted as an imaginary keyword. To acquire the value of a register "I," add ":REG" after the register.

Remark 7.

When watch-expressions are registered from the IOR panel or the CPU Register panel, the scope specification is automatically added.

<3>

Register from other application

Select a character string of a variable of C language, CPU register, I/O register or assembler symbol from a external editor then do either one of the following.

-

Drag and drop the target character string in this area in the desired watch panel (Watch1 to Watch4).

-

Select the [Edit] menu >> [Paste] in this area in the desired watch panel (Watch1 to Watch4) after copying the target character string.

Caution 1.

Up to 3000 watch-expressions can be registered in one watch panel (if this restriction is violated, a message appears).

Caution 2.

Due to compiler optimization, the data for the target variable may not be on the stack or in a register in blocks where that variable is not used. In this case, the target watch-expression value is displayed as "?".

Remark 1.

Each watch-expression registered in each watch panel (Watch1 to Watch4) is managed in each panel and saved as the user information of the project.

Remark 2.

More than one watch-expression with the same name can be registered.

Remark 3.

You can export registered watch-expressions to a file and import it so that the watch-expressions can be re-registered (see "2.10.6.8 Export/import watch-expressions").

Various events can be set to the selected watch-expression by selecting [Access Break], [Trace Output] or [Performance Measurement] from the context menu.

If an access event is set, the mark of the watch-expression is changed (the event mark of a break event, Trace event or Performance Measurement event is displayed under the icon of the watch-expression in layers).

When an event is set, the detailed information about the set event is reflected in the Events panel.

Note that events are only set to the watch-expressions that are global variables, static variables inside functions, or file-internal static variables.

See the following for details on how to set events.

(g)

Jump to the address with memory definition

By selecting [Jump to Memory] from the context menu, the Memory panel (Memory1) opens with moving the caret to the address in which the selected watch-expression is defined (if the Memory panel (Memory1) is already open, the screen will jump to the panel).

Note that this operation is disabled when more than one watch-expression is selected at the same time or the CPU register/I/O register is selected.

(2)

[Value] area

The value of the registered watch-expression is displayed and changed (if the watch-expression is a function pointer, the function name is displayed in this area).

Notations and encodes can be selected by the button on the toolbar or the context menu item. In addition, a display format adding the value in hexadecimal number constantly can also be selected as well.

The default display format of the values is automatically decided depending on the type of the watch-expression.

Background color

Standard color

Note

The I/O register that cause the microcontroller to operate when it is read is read-protected and therefore cannot be read ("?" is displayed in the value).
To read out the value of a read-protected I/O register, select [Force Read Value] from the context menu. Reading of each register is allowed only once.

Remark 1.

Each watch-expression acquires the value in the order it was registered.
As the timing to acquire a value is different, the values displayed may be different if the same I/O register is registered more than once.

Remark 2.

When a hexadecimal value is also given, then values in the specified notation and hexadecimal values are read separately. For this reason, the values with the specified notion and the hexadecimal values may differ due to the time lag between being read.

 

This area is provided with the following functions.

(a)

Real-time display update function

Using the real-time display update function allows you to display/modify the value of the watch-expression not only while the program is stopped, but also in execution.

See "2.10.1.4 Display/modify the memory contents during program execution" for details on the real-time display update function.

(b)

Changing values of watch-expressions

To edit the value of the watch-expression, change the value directly from the keyboard after double-clicking on the value to be edited (press the [Esc] key to cancel the edit mode).

After you edit the value of the watch-expression, it is written to the target memory of the debug tool by pressing the [Enter] key, or moving the focus to outside the edit region.

See "2.10.6.6 Modify the contents of watch-expressions" for detail on how to change values of watch-expressions.
