When or How the Watch List of the MCU Monitor is Saved?

SimulIDE-R1741_Win32

While working with ATmega8, I couldn’t find how (or when, exactly) the register’s watch list of the MCU monitor could be saved.

Saving the schematic of the MCU may or may not save its updated list. And if it is saved, the saved list may not be the last updated one when the schematic is saved (and simulIDE is closed or not).

The watch list is saved with the circuit.

You can see it in the .sim1 file, in the "varlist" element:

Code:

<item itemtype="MCU" CircId="mega328-2" ...  Clk_Out="false" varList=",DDRB,PORTB,,TCCR2A,TCCR2B,TIFR2,TIMSK2,TCNT2" SerialMon="-1" />

Saving the schematic of the MCU may or may not save its updated list. And if it is saved, the saved list may not be the last updated one when the schematic is saved

I will have a look.

Thank you.
At least now, the 'varList' could be set manually, when necessary.

You can also save and load a "varSet".
So you can have several sets to use for one circuit or use the same set for different circuits.

Right-click in the Register list and select from  the context menu:

I missed it while I use this submenu a lot to delete/clear some entries!
It seems I need new glasses

It is incredible how we can focus in one thing and just ignore everything else.

Few days ago a microcontroller was not running at all and I wasted a lot of time wondering why.
Several times I opened the properties dialog showing Frequency = 0, but I didn't see it...

It happens all the time, but this time was during a live-stream...
