Creating and Modifying a Signal List

The signal list can consist of signals, groups, and RAM bits. To create the list of signals to be displayed, including any signal groups that you have created, use the Display Signals dialog box.

Invoke the Display Signals dialog box and select the signals to include in the Displayed Signals list. The Displayed Signals list is a list of signals, groups, and RAM bits you select for probing with the Hardware Debugger.

NOTE

To display a new signal group, you must first define it in the Display Groups dialog box before adding it to the Displayed Signals list. Refer to the procedure in the “Creating a Signal Group” section.

1. Select Debug Settings Display Signals or click the Display button in the Debug Control Panel.
   
   The Display Signals dialog box, shown in the “Display Signals Dialog Box” figure, appears.

2. Click Signals, Groups, or RAM Bits to display the list of available signals, signal groups, or RAM bits.
   
   
3. Use the Filter for Signals field to make signal selection easier. For example, if you specify the letter A followed by a wildcard (*) you filter for all signal names that start with “A.”
   
   Click Apply to apply the filter to the Signals displayed in the Available Signals list box. To redisplay the complete signal list, click Clear.
   
   
4. In the Available Signals list box, highlight one or more of the signals, groups, or RAM bits you want to probe.
   
   
5. Click the > button to move the highlighted signals to the Displayed Signals list box.
   
   To remove signals from the Displayed Signals list box, select the signals and click the < button.
   
   To add or remove all the signals displayed in a list box, use the << or >> button.
   
   To rearrange the order of the signals displayed in the Displayed Signals list box, use the Up and Down buttons below the list box.
   
   
6. Click OK to exit from the Display Signals dialog box.
   
   The current waveform is automatically updated with the new signals, which appear as cross-hatched hexagons.
