Is there a way to display a watch variable as ASCII?
The only options I see are hex and dec.
I can't find any way to get ASCII in the Watch window. I can hover my cursor over the variable name in the code window, and if it is a string buffer eventually the ASCII will appear in a tooltip. (I guess it takes time for the data from a large buffer to come back over the USB link.)
I can also open a Memory window and drag the variable name from the Symbols window into it, and then right click in the Memory window and choose ASCII. That lets me see all of a large buffer at once.
In case you haven't found them, you can also see full displays of target hardware sfr register values if you open the appropriate window in the lower half of the Peripherals drop-down menu. I thought for awhile the tooltips in the Symbols:Peripheral SFR area were the only way to see values.
Hope this helps someone...
