In the older versions of MPlab, it was possible to set the radix for the data in the watch windows, so if you were looking for a pattern or just a bit toggling, then it was easy to pick up. I've gone thru the help and doesnt seem to be a way to change it from hex, or is there? _________________________________________________________________ Keep up with high-tech trends here at "Hook'd on Technology." http://special.msn.com/msnbc/hookedontech.armx -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
