4.2.5 Data Analyzer

The data analyzer mode allows you to view all bytes of data transferred on each

port. Both the transmitted and received data bytes are displayed. Use of this

feature is limited without a thorough understanding of the protocol.

Important: When in analyzer mode, program execution will slow down. Only use this tool during a
trouble-shooting session. Before disconnecting from the Config/Debug port, please be sure to
press [M] to return to the main menu and disable the data analyzer. This action will allow the
module to resume its normal operating mode.
