Caution: Some of the commands available to you from this menu are designed for
advanced debugging and system testing only, and can cause the module to stop
communicating with the processor or with other devices, resulting in potential data loss
or other failures. Only use these commands if you are specifically directed to do so by
ProSoft Technology Technical Support staff. Some of these command keys are not
listed on the menu, but are active nevertheless. Please be careful when pressing keys
so that you do not accidentally execute an unwanted command.
Opening the Data Analyzer Menu
Press [A] to open the Data Analyzer Menu. Use this command to view all bytes
of data transferred on each port. Both the transmitted and received data bytes
are displayed. Refer to Data Analyzer for more information about this menu.
Important: When in analyzer mode, program execution will slow down. Only use this
tool during a troubleshooting session. Before disconnecting from the Config/Debug
port, please press [S] to stop the data analyzer, and then press [M] to return to the
main menu. This action will allow the module to resume its normal high speed
operating mode.
