You can display memory content in the Memory window. To specify the memory address to be displayed, use the Display Memory Window dialog box. You can open up to 60 instances of the Memory window at a time.
To display memory content:
- Select View > Memory… or click the
Memory button.
The Memory dialog box opens.
- Enter the start address of the memory that is to be displayed in the Address field.
Alternatively, select a start address from the drop-down list or click the Browse… button.
The Browse… button opens the Symbol Selector dialog box to search for an appropriate start address. See also Symbol Selector Dialog Box: Simple Search Tab.
- Check one of the Size radio buttons.
Size impacts the grouping of the array of bits extracted from the memory. Choose between: Byte, Word, Long, Long Long, Float, Double and Long Double.
By default, Long is selected.
- Check one of the Format radio buttons.
Format impacts the display format of the Memory window. Choose between: Hexadecimal, Unsigned Decimal, Signed Decimal, Octal or Binary.
The default value is Hexadecimal.
- Check the check box Based.
If the start address of the Memory window is not a constant expression, you may want the Memory window to follow whenever the value of the expression changes. This is called based mode. Based mode is indicated as [based] in the title bar of the Memory window.
By default, based mode is turned off.
- Check the check box Auto Update.
This check box is used to activate or deactivate the automatic update of the Memory window whenever the application stops. Auto Update is activated by default.
If Auto Update is checked, the window is updated automatically whenever the memory on display is changed. Otherwise, it is updated only when the menu item Reload is selected. When auto update is unchecked and the memory on display changed since the last update, the string [?] is displayed in the title bar of the Memory window.
Auto Update may reduce the performance.
- Click OK.
The Memory window displays the memory content at the given start address.
