Chapter 6. Specific Debug Functions: 8- and 16-Bit Devices
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The following debug functions are specific to 8- and 16-bit devices.
• Data Capture and Runtime Watches
• Instrumented Trace
•PC Sampling
• Application In/Out
• Additional Debug Features
6.2 DATA CAPTURE AND RUNTIME WATCHES
Not all 8- and 16-bit devices support data capture and/or runtime watches. A list of
supported features by device is available in online help.
For 8- and 16-bit devices, breakpoints, data captures and runtime watches use the
same resources. Therefore, setting a data capture or runtime watch uses the resource
for the selected symbol. An 8-bit PIC can only watch 8-bit variables and a 16-bit PIC
can only watch 16-bit variable.
For data captures and runtime watches at speeds higher than 15 MIPS, the Perfor-
mance Pak may be needed. The actual cutoff speed may vary depending on layout,
noise, and similar considerations.
