How to view variables when stepping through .src files

Hello,

I have a variable of type Nat16 (unsigned int) which is called PulseWidth.

In the function that fills the variable PulseWidth, there's some assembler code (#pragma asm/endasm included in the .c file), so I have to indicate to the compiler to generate an assembler src file and to assemble this src file too.
Because of that, I have to open the corresponding .src file to put breakpoints (apparently, I can't put breakpoints in the 'normal' .c file).

When the breakpoint is hit, I would like to see the content of this variable in the watch window #1. However, I only see the value of one byte of this variable iso the whole variable. I have to open the memory window after looking where in the memory this variable is located, and only then I can see the two bytes (so, the 'complete' variable).

My question: how to show the complete variable when you have hit a breakpoint in a .src file? Is there something like PulseWidth and PulseWidth+1 to be defined in the watch window? The example I gave just now certainly does not work, because if you put PulseWidth+1, the watch window simply adds 1 to the value of PulseWidth. Is there some other way to represent the second byte (or better, the whole variable at once)?


Rgds,
