Emulator Function Summary

11.3.6 AND Dialog

Click ANDed Breakpoints in the Breakpoints Dialog to display this dialog.

Set up an ANDed condition for breaking, i.e., breakpoint 1 AND breakpoint 2 must

occur at the same time before a program halt. This can only be accomplished if a data

breakpoint and a program memory breakpoint occur at the same time.

To add a breakpoint to the AND condition:

• Select a breakpoint from the list of “Available Breakpoints”. Available

breakpoints/triggers are those previously added to the breakpoint dialog.

•Click Add.

To remove a breakpoint from a sequence:

• Select the breakpoint in the “ANDed Breakpoints” list.

•Click Remove.

11.3.7 Triggers Dialog

Where is Data Capture?

To set up triggers, select Debugger>Triggers

Click on Add External Triggers to open the Add External Trigger Dialog to set up

hardware triggers.

When complete, trigger information will appear in this dialog. Each trigger may be

enabled/disabled individually.

11.3.8 Add External Trigger Dialog

Click Add External Triggers in the Triggers Dialog to display this dialog.

Use this dialog to set up external triggering via the logic probe port. Depending on the

processor speed, the amount of skid after the trigger can be significant.

• Select a pin to use as the trigger from the pull-down menu. Once selected, the

corresponding pin is highlighted on a figure of the logic probe port as viewed from

the front of the emulator.

• Next select the type of trigger.

11.3.9 Watch Window - Data Capture/Runtime Watch

The MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator tool adds an “Update” column to the Watch

window for use in setting up data capture and/or a runtime watch for a data address

(Figure 11-1). For information on the Watch window in general, see MPLAB IDE help.
