Viewing a location in storage

About this task

To view the contents of storage from the Memory view:

Procedure

  1. Select the storage monitor that contains the storage location that you would like to view.
  2. If necessary, use the scroll bar in the monitor to view storage locations above or below the starting address of the Memory view. Alternatively, right-click in the monitor and choose the Go to Address pop-up menu item. This will open the Go To Address dialog, in which you can enter an address that you would like to jump to. Click OK to exit the dialog and go to the address. If the address was not already visible in the view, the address will become the top entry in the view. If the address was already visible in the view, the cursor will move to the entered address.
  3. If desired, change the size (in bytes) of the memory content columns by right-clicking in the storage monitor and selecting Format from the pop-up menu. This will open the Format dialog, in which you can set the units per row and units per column.
    Note: When you set a default column size in the Default Column Size dialog, it is not used by any storage monitors that you currently have open. It will be used for the next storage monitor that you create.

Results

If you are in a storage monitor and move away from the address that you originally set to monitor, selecting the Reset to Base Address button (or choosing the Reset to Base Address pop-up menu item) will position the cursor back to the base address of the memory monitor.
