H8SX Family Emulator E6000H Usage of Realtime RAM Monitoring 1. Specifications The E6000H emulator provides the RAM monitoring function to display the memory contents during realtime execution of the user program. In this monitoring function, the realtime operation is retained since the bus monitoring circuit of the emulator sets the read/write signal of the MCU as a trigger and holds the address bus and data bus values to update the displayed contents of memory.
