Menu commands

These commands are available on the menu:

Hardware Setup
B_HardwareSetup.TIF

To display the driver-specific Hardware Setup dialog box, where you can make the basic configuration for the emulator, click to the left of this command when C-SPY is not running to place a checkmark next to it. The next time you start C-SPY, the dialog box will be displayed. See Hardware Setup.

Operating Frequency

Displays a dialog box where you can inform the emulator of the operating frequency that the MCU is running at, see Operating Frequency dialog box.

Leave Target Running

Leaves the application running on the target hardware after the debug session is closed.

Warning

Because existing breakpoints might not be automatically removed, consider disabling all breakpoints before using this option.

If this menu command is not available, it is not supported by the C-SPY driver you are using.

Breakpoint Toggle During Run

Allows toggling breakpoints on or off during emulator execution. Toggling a breakpoint on or off will temporarily halt the emulator.

Trace Setup
B_TraceSetup.TIF

Displays a dialog box where you can configure the trace generation and collection, see Reference information on trace.

Data Sample Setup
