Hello Ralf,

Would each watch have selectable formats or would the entire watch window
switch formats? I think it would be useful to select some watch variables to be
displayed in hex, others in dec and others in bin. To make it easier to
program you could have the watch window display all formats in three columns,
that might cut down on the users time to set up the watch window with
the desired formats after the variable has been selected.

Sounds good to me.

Would the watch window be able to display single bits from a word (rather than
just the whole word)? If so then the bit name would be displayed already. If you
are only going to display the entire word then maybe a tooltip (with the
bit name) could pop up when an individual bit in that word is pointed at.

Do you mean a chart of all the memory or a picture of functional blocks?
What features (if any) would it have?
Either type would require a lot of maintenance each time a new processor is
added.
