In the Memory view, you can look at the contents of memory
at a specific address. The address can be obtained from an expression
that references a variable or a register. When you monitor memory,
you can set the monitor to be rendered in a data format such as Hex,
ASCII, EBCDIC, signed integer, and unsigned integer.
About this task
The following screen captures illustrates the panes in
the Memory view:

- Monitors pane: located on the left-hand
side of the view (pointer A. in the diagram). This portion of the
view contains a list of expressions, variables, and registers that
you have added for monitoring. In this documentation, a monitor is
a memory monitor that is listed in the Monitors pane.
- Renderings pane: located on the right-hand
side of the view (if the view is set to horizontal orientation) and
it contains renderings for the selected monitor (pointer B. in the
diagram). You use it to set the data format (or formats) that you
want displayed for monitored memory.
- Toggle Split Pane control: (pointer C.
in the diagram) allows you to split the Renderings pane.
By default, the Memory view only displays one rendering pane. When
you click Toggle Split Pane, a second rendering
opens and displays as a split pane.
- Link Memory Rendering Panes control: (pointer
D. in the diagram) allows you to keep split Renderings panes
synchronized when you navigate in a rendering or change the format
of a rendering.
When you monitor an address or expression from the Monitors pane,
the Renderings pane becomes populated with
the default text-based rendering for your operating system. When you
monitor an address or expression from the Renderings pane,
the pane becomes populated with a list of renderings from which you
can choose one to display.
You can monitor multiple variables,
expressions, and registers in the Memory view - or you can add multiple
renderings to the Renderings pane. In the Monitors pane,
each variable, expression, or register that you have added is listed.
In the Renderings pane, only the memory rendering(s)
for the currently-selected monitor in the Memory view
is displayed (multiple renderings are separated by tabs or a split
pane).
You can set the two panes in the Memory view to display
in a horizontal orientation (side-by-side) or in a vertical orientation
(top-to-bottom). To set the layout of the view, click the Memory view
down-arrow icon and select Layout from the
menu. This will open a submenu, from which you can choose the orientation
that you want to display.
