<h2>Adding a Memory Monitor </h2>
<p>You can add one or more memory monitors to the <a href="../../reference/view_memory_wnd.htm">Memory</a> view. A memory monitor shows the contents of a different address or expression. </p>
<p class="note"><b>NOTE</b> When using an emulator, the memory addresses are actually based on their location and formats dependent upon the host machine. </p>
<div class="step">
