The System Browser view shows system level information about processes executing on various machines, like the host computer or the hardware under debugger control. The view shows this information:
Click on the expand icon for a process to view all tasks assigned to the selected process. Processes under debugger control appear in bold. Double-click a task to open it in a new Thread window, or choose the task name and click the Stack Crawl View button.
Table 1 explains items in the window.
NOTE If the System Browser view does not show processes for a sepcific machine, you will need to start a debugging session for that machine. For example, you might need to debug a project that runs on external hardware in order to see executing processes for that hardware.
