The mikroICD debugger also offers functions such as running a program step by step (single stepping), pausing the program execution
to examine the state of currently active registers using breakpoints, tracking the values of some variables etc. The following example
illustrates a step-by-step program execution using the Step Over command.

4.0. mikroICD (In-Circuit Debugger)
The mikroICD (In-Circuit Debugger) is an integral part of the on-board programmer. It is used for testing and debugging programs in
real time. The process of testing and debugging is performed by monitoring the state of all registers within the microcontroller while
operating in real environment. The mikroICD software is integrated in all PIC compilers designed by Mikroelektronika (mikroBASIC
PRO, mikroC PRO, mikroPASCAL PRO, etc.). As soon as the mikroICD debugger starts up, a window called Watch Values, appears
on the screen, Figure 4-1. The mikroICD debugger communicates to the microcontroller through the microcontroller’s pins used for
programming.

After the Step Over command
is executed, the microcontroller
will execute the 41st program
line. The next line to be
executed is highlighted in blue.
The state of registers being
changed by executing this
instruction may be viewed in
the Watch Values window.

Each of these commands is activated via
keyboard shortcuts or by clicking the appro-
priate icon within the Watch Values window.
During operation, the program line to be executed next is
highlighted in blue, while the breakpoints are highlighted in
red. The Run command executes the program in real time
until it encounters a breakpoint.

In this example the 41st
program line is highlighted in
blue, which means that it will
be executed next. The current
state of all registers within the
microcontroller can be viewed
in the mikroICD Watch Values
window.
