Step Over
Step Over allows you to debug code without stepping into subroutines. When
stepping over a CALL instruction, the next breakpoint will be set at the
instruction after the CALL. If for some reason the subroutine gets into an
endless loop or does not return properly, the next breakpoint will never be
reached.
The Step Over command is the same as Single Step except for its handling of
CALL instructions.
Stimulus
Data generated to exercise the response of simulation to external signals.
Often the data is put into the form of a list of actions in a text file. Stimulus may
be asynchronous, synchronous (pin), clocked and register.
Stopwatch
A counter for measuring execution cycles.
Symbol
A symbol is a general purpose mechanism for describing the various pieces
which comprise a program. These pieces include function names, variable
names, section names, file names, struct/enum/union tag names, etc.
Symbols in MPLAB IDE refer mainly to variable names, function names and
assembly labels.
System Button
The system button is another name for the system window control. Clicking on
the system button pops up the system menu.
System Window Control
The system window control is located in the upper left corner of windows and
some dialogs. Clicking on this control usually pops up a menu that has the
items “Minimize,” “Maximize,” and “Close.” In some MPLAB IDE windows,
additional modes or functions can be found.
