Events panel

This panel is used to display the detailed information about the events that are set on the Editor panel/Disassemble panel/Watch panel. On this panel, you can change the setting state of the event between valid/invalid and delete the event (see "2.15 Manage Events").

This panel appears only when connected to the debug tool.

Remark 1.

The available event types depend on the type of the selected microcontroller and of the debug tool in use. Refer to the descriptions under "See ..." sentences in the category "Description" in "Table A.11 Event Type". Alternatively, see "2.15.7.1 Maximum number of enabled events".

Remark 2.

The events that have been set on the Function List panel or Variable List panel of the analyze tool (Program Analyzer) are also managed on this panel.

Remark 3.

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 4.

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.

[Description of each area]

(1)

[Name] area

A list of the event names that have currently been set is displayed in the following format.

Remark

It is possible to limit the event to be displayed by clicking the button on the toolbar (see "[Toolbar]").

(a)

Check box

The setting state of the event is displayed/changed.

Note that the Event mark is changed depending on the setting state of the event.

 

Valid state

Event occurs when the specified condition is met.

It is possible to set the event to an invalid state by removing the check.

 

Invalid state

Event does not occur when the specified condition is met.

It is possible to set the event to a valid state by removing the check.

 

Suspended state

The conditions that have been specified cannot be set with the program of the debugging target.

It is not possible to operate the check box.

Remark 1.

Both of the Timer Start event and Timer Stop event is must be set for the Timer Result event. Therefore, it is not possible to set a particular event to a valid state by only the setting of one of these (at the same time as both events are set, they are treated as grouped events as a Timer Result).

Remark 2.

It is not possible to set the Run-Break Timer event to an invalid/suspended state.

Remark 3.

The setting of the Unconditional Trace event and the Trace event to valid or invalid state is exclusively controlled. Therefore, the Unconditional Trace event, which is a built-in event, is valid state by default, but if either a trace start event/trace end event is set, it automatically becomes invalid state, and the Trace event, which is a event name that is collectively called with a trace start event and a trace end event, becomes valid state. Conversely, if the set Trace event is invalid state, the Unconditional Trace event automatically becomes valid state.

(b)

Event mark

The event mark shows the type of event, and in addition shows the current setting state.

The meanings of the marks displayed are as follows:

The event type and ID number are displayed as the event name.

A number from 0001 is automatically provided as the ID number for each event (no renumbering of the ID number is done even in the event that an event that has been set once is deleted).

Event types that are displayed are as follows:

Table A.11

Event Type

Event Type

Description

Hardware Break

(BreakNote 1)

Breaks the program when the condition is met while the debug tool monitors the break condition all the time during program execution.

-> See "2.8.3 Stop the program at the arbitrary position (breakpoint)"

-> See "2.8.4 Stop the program at the arbitrary position (break event)"

-> See "2.8.5 Stop the program with the access to variables/SFRs"

Software Break

(BreakNote 1)

Breaks the program when the instruction, which an address code to break is rewritten for the break instruction, is executed.

-> See "2.8.3 Stop the program at the arbitrary position (breakpoint)"

Combination Break

Breaks the program when, while the debug tool successively is checking plural break conditions during program execution, the combination condition is met.

-> See "2.8.4 Stop the program at the arbitrary position (break event)"

-> See "2.8.5 Stop the program with the access to variables/SFRs"

Break at start of function

This event type is a Hardware Break (execution type) that is set in the Function panel of the analyze tool (Program Analyzer).

Access break to variable

This event type is a Hardware Break (access type) that is set in the Variable panel of the analyze tool (Program Analyzer).

Unconditional Trace

Automatically collects the trace data with start of a program execution, and stops collecting the trace data with stop of the program execution.

This event cannot be deleted because of the built-in eventNote 2 (this event is set to a Valid state by default).

-> See "2.11.2 Collect execution history until stop of the execution"

Run-Break Timer

Automatically measures the execution time of a program with start of the program execution, and stops the measurement with stop of the program execution. This event cannot be deleted because of the built-in eventNote 2 (this event is set to a Valid state by default).

-> See "2.12.2 Measure execution time until stop of the execution"

Trace

Starts/stops collecting the trace data when the condition specified with a trace start event and a trace end event is met (this event is displayed when either a trace start event or a trace end event is set).

-> See "2.11.3 Collect execution history in a section"

Timer Result

 

Starts/stops measuring the execution time of a program when the condition specified with a timer start event and a timer end event is met (this event is displayed when either a timer start event or a timer end event is set).

-> See "2.12.3 Measure execution time in a section [IECUBE][Simulator]"

Point Trace

Records the information as the trace data only when accessing the specified variable or SFR during execution of a program.

-> See "2.11.4 Collect execution history only when the condition is met [IECUBE][Simulator]"

Printf

 

Executes printf command in software processing after temporary stopping a program in execution at an arbitrary position (action event).

-> See "2.14.1 Inset printf"

Note 1.

A breakpoint that is set by a one click operation of the mouse is displayed "Break" (see "2.8.3.1 Set a breakpoint").

Note 2.

This is set in the debug tool by default.

[Detail Information] area

Detailed information about each event is displayed.

The contents of the information that is displayed differ depending on the event type as follows:

Caution

For an access-related event to which the detailed event conditions have been set via the Detail dialog box (for access events), "[Refer To A Detail Dialog]" may be displayed in this area. If this is the case, refer to the contents of the Detail dialog box (for access events).
