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 SFR 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 1.

It is not possible to display or change the CPU register contents during program execution.

Caution 2.

In a block where a variable that is the subject of operation is not used, variable data may not always exist in the stack or register, due to optimization by a compiler. In this case, even when a variable that is the subject of operation is registered as a watch-expression, the displayed value remains marked with "?."

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.
