## Adding a Memory Monitor

You can add one or more memory monitors to the Memory view. A memory monitor shows the contents of a different address or expression.

NOTE When using an emulator, the memory addresses are actually based on their location and formats dependent upon the host machine.

#### To add a Memory Monitor

1. Open a new memory monitor by:
   - Click the Add Memory Monitor () icon in the Monitors pane
   - Right-click in the Monitors pane, then select Add Memory Monitor
   - Right-click a variable in the Variables view, then select View Memory

The Add Memory Monitor window appears (Figure 1).

2. Enter the address or expression to monitor

Type the address or expression that specifies the memory section to monitor. Acceptable formats include:

- Address -- *ptr
- Expression -- (&y)+1024
- Functions -- FNname
- Hexadecimal -- 0x0847d3c
- Variables -- &VarName

3. Click OK

The monitor appears in the monitor list and the Memory Renderings pane displays the contents of memory locations beginning at the specified address.
