Standard Display

You can display the contents and attributes of data objects with elementary data types using the Detail Display tool. The detail display consists of two views, represented by the tabs Fields and Detail Display. The field view contains the names of the data objects selected by the user and their current status in the form of a history for special tools.

If you double-click a data object, the system will show the Detailed Display. This is called as a Fast Display and contains the following specifications on the data object:

  • Name

  • Type

  • Absolute type

  • Flag for read access

  • View

  • Content

  • Hexadecimal content

Special Display

For data objects of the elementary types C, STRING and XSTRING, there are two further displays available: the Tabular and Text Translation views. The tabular display is particularly interesting for data objects whose contents exceed 50 characters. In this display, the contents are portioned into 50 characters each. In this case, the contents are shown -depending on the selected function Text Display or Hexadecimal Display-either as characters or in encrypted hexadecimal form. Either way, it is possible to scroll vertically or horizontally.

The last view Text Display solely allows conversion of the variable content into a required code page. Here a further input field Codepage is supplied. In addition, you can define the byte sequence of the hexadecimal display using the checkbox BigEndian. The display option is particularly interesting for texts that were imported externally and are encrypted in another codepage than the one in the Debugger application server.

Services

The detail display provides standard services for finding and locally saving (downloading) the variable content.

When saving the contents as a local file, you can choose between three formats:

  • Binary

  • ASCII (text display)

  • Binary with codepage conversion (only with fields of the elementary types C, X, STRING, and XSTRING)

  • In binary mode, the hexadecimal variable contents are transferred. If the codepage conversion is also executed, the hexadecimal content of the variable is interpreted as text in the specified initial codepage and converted into a target codepage of your choice before the transfer. You specify the target codepage in the file selection dialog box.

  • With the transfer as ASCII text, the text representation is passed for fields of the elementary types C and STRING. In the case of fields of the elementary types X and XSTRING, the text representation of the binary code is transferred (for example, 31354F).

  • In all cases, coherent files are created without additional line breaks.
