3.4.1 Breakpoints
The editor allows to set up to 16 Breakpoints. A Breakpoint is entered by a mouse click to the left of
the beginning of a line (see IDE or Editor Window).
The number of Breakpoints is limited to 16 because this information is carried along in RAM dur-
ing operation of the Bytecode Interpreter. Other Debuggers on the Market will set Breakpoints dir-
ectly into the program code. In our case this is not desirable since it would drastically reduce the life
time of the flash memory (appr. 10,000 writing accesses).
3.4.2 Variable Watch Window
The contents of variables can be displayed within the Debugger. To do this the mouse pointer is
placed over the variable. Within approximately 2 seconds the content of the variable is displayed in
form of a Tooltip. The variable is first displayed in accordance to its data type and then, separated by
a comma, as Hex number with a preceeding "0x".
If several variables need to be monitored then the variables can be comprised in a list.
