Figure 5–17. RAM Window
RAM Window : Displays 16-bit data memory hex values. The left most column
is the address. Data memory is always addressable as bytes by MSP50C614
instructions. Each value displayed in this window is actually two consecutive
byte data. Data memory values consist of the usual 16 bits, plus a 17
th
bit
called the
tag bit
. If the tag bit is set, the background is yellow, otherwise it is
white. The tag bit can be changed by clicking the right mouse button on the
data memory value to be changed. The value is displayed in red if it has
changed since the last time it was displayed.
To edit a memory value, double click on the value to bring a small blinking
cursor. Keep the mouse pointer within this window and enter a new hex value.
Changes are only taken into account when the chip is not in run mode.
To add or remove a watch, select the location by double clicking the data
memory value and press
W
on the keyboard. The selected location will be
added (if Watch window does not already contain this location) or removed (if
Watch window contains this location) from the Watch window.
