Send Feedback

The Memory windows displays a snapshot of the data in memory at a given address.

You can set an insertion point on a line by clicking in the Memory window, which causes the Memory window to start on this line when displaying the contents of variables.

You can also select a variable name or expression in the editor window and drag it to the Memory window. Then the contents of that variable are displayed, beginning on the line where you placed the item.

You can make changes directly to memory by typing individual hex codes in the center column, or by typing from the keyboard in the text column on the right. Your changes are highlighted in red.

The following options are available:

  • Address
    Displays an individually accessible data storage location in memory.

    The entries you previously entered appear in this text box.

  • Context Menu
    Right-click the window to bring up the context menu, which contains the following functions:

    Item Description
    Byte Format Displays memory information in byte format; for example, 00 0A FE 32.
    Short Hex Format Displays memory information in short hexadecimal format; for example, 000A FE32.
    Long Hex Format Displays memory information in long hexadecimal format; for example, 000AFE32.
    Toolbar Displays the address toolbar.

    If the address toolbar is displayed, a check mark appears. Select again to clear the check mark and remove the address toolbar.

    Docking View Switches the active window from docking to nondocking mode:
    • Docking mode. When a window is in docking mode, a check mark appears.

      You can dock the window to the border of the main Platform Builder window, or you can change the window to a floating window that can be moved outside the main Platform Builder window.

      To change the window to a floating window, hold the CTRL key and click on the frame of the window you select.

      This window can be redocked at any time.

    • Nondocking mode. If the window is in nondocking mode, it appears only inside the main Platform Builder window and cannot be docked.
