Does anybody know how I can measure the time between two breakpoints. I am using dscope monitor. Leo
Hi Alex, I'm working in target mode! In target mode it is impossible to use the PA of dscope (command not supported in target mode). Bye ...Leo
I need to agree with you... ;-) - Alex
It would be nice if MON166 was able to link in a user function to run when it hits a breakpoint. Time measurement would be one thing you could do, but an even more valuable function would be to put the target hardware in a safe condition. I build systems with PWM controlled motors, it is always a challenge to safety these things during development.
It would be nice if MON166 was able to link in a user function to run when it hits a breakpoint. Ahhhh, but it can. Set a breakpoint that executes a debugger printf that reads and outputs the contents of one of the timer SFRs. Use the Breakpoints dialog to do this (it's easier). For the command, enter:
printf("I Got Here\n")
jon, Thank you for the response, I really meant that I would like the monitor to call my function on any breakpoint. What you suggest would work fine for timing measurments. Be aware that usint the printf in a real time system is a real problem sinc the monitor uses a polled I/O mode that blocks all other tasks. Eric
