• Easy-to-use GUI (Graphical User Interface)
• Comfortable operation provided by drag & drop operation
• C language and assembly language source level debugging and many other basic debug features
• Real-time RAM monitoring
• Real-time tracing, Time measurement and other advanced features
• USB, Serial, parallel and LAN interfaces support
• On-line help in HTML

Operating Environment

• IBM PC/AT compatibles (Windows® XP, Windows® 2000)

Basic Functions

Window	Function
Register Window	Displays/changes content of flags and registers particular to the MCU.
Memory Window	Displays the contents of contiguous memory in dump format with "address" and "label". Can be displayed in binary, decimal, hexadecimal, and ASCII. Allows to modify the contents of memory, and also to fill and move specified blocks of memory.
RAM Monitor Window	Displays memory content changed during target program execution. The area read during program execution is displayed in green, and the area written is displayed in red. (You can set colors of your choice.)
ASM Watch Window	Monitors changes of memory contents and variable contents declared on assembly language level. Display format can be selected from among binary, decimal, and hexadecimal. If the specified address is within the real-time RAM area, area read is displayed in green, and the area written is displayed in red. (You can set colors of your choice.)
C Watch Window	Displays C variable contents. In addition to a window that displays variable formula of your choice, there are windows that display external variables, local variables within a file, and local variables within a function.
Stack Trace Window	Displays function call information of C language.
Script Window	The window for executing commands from the keyboard or script files. An area is provided for displaying command execution results and command history. Execution results can be output to a file.
S/W Break Point Setting Window	For setting/clearing software break points. Can set 64 break points maximum (OR condition).

Advanced Functions

Window	Function
Protect Window	Sets the protect function that halts program execution when a reserved area is accessed. An access attribute (Access Disable, Read Only, Write Only or R/W Enable) can be specified in 256-byte batch of memory.
H/W Break Point Setting Window	Sets/cancels hardware break points. Can set 8 break points maximum and specifies the combination condition of break events. As a combination condition, there is a choice of not only AND and OR but also state transition specification with a transition chart. Using this features allows you to easily detect abnormalities caused by multiple interrupts and task status transition in a program with a real-time OS.
Trace Point Setting Window	Specifies conditions for trace events like the H/W Break Point Setting Window.
Trace Window	Displays the results of real-time tracing in the emulator. The following three display modes are supported: Bus mode, Disassemble mode and Source mode and MIX mode (Disassemble & accessed data).
Data Trace Window	Graphically shows the data access information on the results of real-time tracing.
Coverage Window	Shows C0 coverage measurement results of each C function : start address, end address and coverage(%).
Time Measurement Window	Displays the minimum/maximum/average execution time and measurement count at any measurement point. The execution time of up to 4 measurement points can be measured simultaneously.
GUI I/O Window	By simple mouse operation, you can create virtual input panels (e.g., key input buttons) and output panels (e.g., virtual LEDs) for user system.
MR Window	Shows the state of the real-time OS M3T-MR30.
MR Trace Window	Graphically shows task execution histories of programs using the real-time OS M3T-MR30. Also, each history of interrupt handling and system call issuing is shown together.
MR Analyze Window	Shows the results of statistical processing of measured data in the range specified with the MR trace window. And shows the list of the following records : the occupation status per interrupt handler or task, history of system call issuing.
MR Task Pause Window	Window for executing "task pause" for the real-time OS M3T-MR30. During target system execution, a user-specified task can be stopped (paused) or cleared in this window.
Task Trace Window	Graphically shows task execution histories of programs using real-time OS.
Task Analyze Window	Shows the results of statistical processing of measured data within the range specified with the Task Trace Window. This window shows the occupancies of tasks in a CPU.
