When debugging your application, the Disassembly view shows the loaded program as assembler instructions. When you use the Disassembly view, you can do the following tasks:
Figure 1 shows the Dissassembly view stopped at a breakpoint.

Item | Icon | Explanation |
---|---|---|
Run to Line | ![]() |
Select Run to Line to execute the program from the currently executed line (the green line) to the selected line (the blue line). |
Move to Line | ![]() |
Select Move to Line to move the program counter to the selected line (the blue line) skipping all intermediate lines but not resume execution. This enables you to skip suspect code and continue stepping through your program. WARNING Using this command can leave a program in an unstable state. Use at your own risk. |
Resume at Line | ![]() |
