Simulator GUI window block [Simulator]

Simulator GUI window

This window appears automatically by default after connecting to the debug tool when a microcontroller whose Simulator supports peripheral function simulations is selected and [Simulator] is selected as the debug tool to use (see "2.18 Use the Simulator GUI [Simulator]").

In Simulator GUI, other windows (Signal Data Editor window, Timing Chart window, I/O Panel window, and Serial window) are manipulated from this window.

Caution 1.

When a microcontroller whose Simulator does not support peripheral function simulations (instruction simulation version) is selected, this window cannot be opened.

Caution 2.

This window and windows opened from it cannot be docked to the CS+ Main window.

Caution 3.

The help for this window will not be displayed even if the [F1] key on the keyboard is pressed when no window opened from this window is opened.
To open the help for this window, select the [Help] menu >> [Main Window] on this window.

Caution 4.

The [x] button on this window's titlebar is invalid (it is invalid even if using the Aero function of Windows Vista). If you wish to close this window, perform the configuration of the Property panel (see "2.18 Use the Simulator GUI [Simulator]").
In addition, do not use the [Alt] + [F4] key to close this window.

Remark

The language of titlebar/menubar of this window and windows opened from it depends on the setting of [Regional and Language Options] in [Control Panel] of the host machine used (if this setting is set to [Japan]/[Japanese], their titlebar/menubar are displayed in Japanese).
