How to use "Monitor" Component?

etolocka — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 02:29:54 GMT

Hi!

I´m trying to use the Monitor Component in the CW debugger but I can´t put it to work.

I´m confused about the way to specify the object to monitor. As an example, I enter "PTBD_PTBD3" or "PTBD bit 3", but nothing appears in the channel trace.

Any piece of advice, please?

(I´m using CW 5.1 + S08GT60)

Regards,
Ernesto.

Hello

Monitor component does not work for either Multilink, Softec or Full Chip simulator connection.

If you wish to generate a Chart showing how a specific variable value changes while the application is running, you need to use a Chart instrument within a VisualizationTool window.

For monitoring of varibles in runtime you can also use Freescale standalone tool named FreeMASTER. It's free and you can find more information here:

After you open the Monitor dialog,right-click on it,then choose the "Add Channel" menu.Then in the "Add Channel" dialog,enter the object name. If you don't know the object name, you can: - Start the simulator. - Select "Component" -> "Open". The "Open window Component" dialog is opened.. - Double click on "Inspect". The Inspect component is opened.. - Expand the "Object Pool" Tree to find the object name you wanted.
