Hello,
typically, the settings are stored in the debugger .ini file (typically project.ini).
You may simply run the debugger, do your modifications and then use the menu File > Save Configuration which then shall store the settings in the current configuration file used.

Hello

I assume you are speaking about global data window. Am I right?

You can configure the Data window only after the application code is loaded to the target.

If your global data window is called "Data:1", you need to add an attributes command for Data:1 in the  postload command file.

You can retrieve the postload command file name as follows:

    - Start the debugger

    - Select "Multilink/Cyclone Pro" -> "Command Files" and look at content of the "Postload"  tab.

The command you need to add in the postload command file is:

     Data:1 < attributes FORMAT Hex,MODE periodical,UPDATERATE 10

Make sure to replace "Data:1" with the name displayed in the Data window title bar.

I hope it helps

hi CrasyCat:

thanks for the response! i was sort of on that line of thinking, however the "save configuration" works great as suggested by mr night.

thanks again!
