5.18.2 Watch Symbol or SFR Values Change

To watch symbol values change:

  1. Debug and then Pause your program.
    Note: You must be in a debug session to see the values of symbols – global symbols, SFRs, arrays, register bitfields, etc.
  2. Click the Watches tab to make the window active if it is not already,
  3. For watch symbols, continue the debug session and Pause to see changing values. For runtime watch symbols, continue Debug and watch the values change as the program executes.
Note: You cannot view the value of macros in this way. Use the Macro Expansion Window by right clicking on the macro in the editor during debug.
