Setting Complex Data Breakpoints

Set a complex data breakpoint on the Data tab of the Create Breakpoint dialog box. It can be defined by entering its Location, possibly followed by a Condition, an Action, and a Skip number.

To set a complex data breakpoint:

Select Debug > Create Breakpoint…
The Create Breakpoint dialog box appears.
Click the Data tab.
In the Location field, enter a variable name or an address.
The breakpoint is hit when the application accesses this memory location.
Optionally, define a condition for the breakpoint in the Condition field.
The condition is evaluated after the stop of the application at the breakpoint that is specified in the Location field. If the condition is not fulfilled, the application continues executing. For valid conditions see Set Breakpoint Dialog Box: Data Tab.
Optionally, enter a debugger command into the Action field. When the breakpoint stops execution, the commands is executed.
Optionally, define a skip number in the Skip Count field. The skip count number defines the number of times a breakpoint hit is ignored. For example, a breakpoint with the skip number 2 would stop execution when encountered for the third time.
Optionally, check Access.
Access specifies in which bus cycle the data breakpoint is active. The default value is Write.
Optionally, check Continue.
The target application continues executing after processing the action. If Continue is unchecked, it will stop.
Click OK.
