There are plenty of views to choose from: source-level modules, assembly-level code, watches, inspectors, on-chip registers, C call stack, variables, breakpoints, execution trace, session log, memory dumps, and more.

Drop a few expressions into the Watch Window.  Decompose arrays or structures across several inspectors.  With ChipView-166 you can simply point & click to follow a linked list.

Each type of ChipView-166's views can be customised by font, colour, and style.    Context-sensitive menus can be popped-up with a right button click, or pulled-down from the Local item of the main menu to control view-specific debugging properties.

Emulator Interface Features

A custom version of ChipView-166 is available for Nohau's EMUL166-PC in-circuit emulator.   Breakpoint, trace and configuration setup, in addition to trace frame display are among the customizations.
