Defining application-specific register groups

In this section:

Defining application-specific register groups minimizes the amount of registers displayed in the Registers windows and makes the debugging easier.

To define application-specific register groups:

  1. Choose View>Registers>Register User Groups Setup during a debug session.

    RegUserGroupsSetupWin_Mym8.0_1.png

    Right-clicking in the window displays a context menu with commands. For information about these commands, see Register User Groups Setup window.

  2. Click on <click to add group> and specify the name of your group, for example My Timer Group and press Enter.

  3. Underneath the group name, click on <click to add reg> and type the name of a register, and press Enter. You can also drag a register name from another window in the IDE. Repeat this for all registers that you want to add to your group.

  4. As an optional step, right-click any registers for which you want to change the integer base, and choose Format from the context menu to select a suitable base.

  5. When you are done, your new group is now available in the Registers windows.

    If you want to define more application-specific groups, repeat this procedure for each group you want to define.

    Note

    If a certain SFR that you need cannot be added to a group, you can register your own SFRs. For more information, see SFR Setup window.
