I AM USING SILABS F314 CNTRLR TO GENERATE A PWM SIGNAL. HOW CAN I CHECK THE PWM SIGNAL & FREQ WHILE IN SOFTWARE DEBUG MODE ONLY ???
Can't you use the built-in logic analyzer? Or isn't the PWM feature simulated?
By the way - you are not scoring extra points for shouting, so please stop writing in all capital letters.
HOW CAN I CHECK THE PWM SIGNAL & FREQ WHILE IN SOFTWARE DEBUG MODE ONLY why do you scream?
Anyhow with the SILabs 'debugger' i.e. emulator the frequency of the PWM in "debug mode" is the very same as in "non-debug mode". This is the difference between a simulator and an emulator, so 'debugger' is totally non-descriptive. If you do not have the SILabs JTAG/C2 dongle you can not download your code, so you need it anyhow.
Now after having said "it is the same" the way to check is with a scope.

Can someone try himself this instead of commenting, I have tried hard but not able to view the PWM signal in the "LOGIC ANALYZER" window in any case. Why should I burn the code in the H/W before I am sure of running a s/w test in debugger. Is'nt it wise and saves time...
