Changing the values of registers does not require recompiling the code and redownloading the firmware. At any
time, the device can be halted and the values of the registers can be changed. After selecting "Go", the firmware
will continue execution using the new values. This capability greatly speeds up the debugging process. See the
data sheet for the C8051F326/7 device family for the definitions and usage for all registers.
The debug windows for other sets of registers are found in the View→Debug Windows→SFR's menu.
6.5. Enabling and Using Watch Windows
The Debug Windows in the View menu are used to view and modify hardware registers. To view and modify
variables in code, the IDE provides Watch Windows. Just as with register debug windows, variables in the watch
windows are updated each time the device is halted. This section of the User's Guide explains how to add a
variable to the watch window and modify the variable. In the F327DC_FeaturesDemo example code, the variable
Num_LED_Flashes is a counter that stores the number of times the LED blinks.
1. If the device is running, stop execution using the "Stop" button or use the Debug→Stop menu option.
2. In the File View on the left-hand side of the IDE, double-click on F327DC_FeaturesDemo.c to open the source
3. Scroll to the TIMER0_ISR function and right-click on the variable "Num_LED_Flashes". In the context menu
4. Start and Stop the device a few times. See that the value of the Num_LED_Flashes is incremented each time
5. When the device is halted, click on the value field in the watch window and change the value to 0. Then click the
6. Start and stop the device a few times to watch the variable increment starting at 0.
Changing the values of variables does not require recompiling the code and redownloading the firmware. At any
time, the device can be halted and the values of the variables can be changed. The firmware will continue
execution using the new values.
