2.3.9 Real-time Monitoring

This section explains the real-time monitoring function.

Command execution during program execution

The real-time monitoring function updates the memory content in real time during program execution and
displays it in a window.
This emulator debugger (MB2198) is provided with a real-time memory window that can display two 256-
byte areas for real-time monitoring. The real-time memory window comes with functions to read and
display data from the actual memory before program execution (a copy function) and display overwritten
data in red.
How to set
The following method is used to set real-time memory areas
• Command
- SET REALTIMEMEMORYAREA
For details, refer to "1.47 SET REALTIMEMEMORYAREA" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Command
Reference Manual".
• Dialog
- "Realtime memory area" tab in debug environment setup dialog
For details, refer to "4.7.2.3 Debug Environment" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Operation Manual".
Note:
The real-time monitoring function has the following restrictions:
It cannot be used unless the external trace function is available.
The external trace function may not be used depending on the specification of the adapter board.
Check your adapter board specification.
When FR80S is used, it can only be set for the internal RAM space.
If it is set for any space other than the internal RAM space, the data will not be updated.
