CCS/MSP430G2553: Multiple detached views of processor registers

Part Number: MSP430G2553

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Is it possible in CCS9.2 to simultaneously open and detach more than one view of the processor registers? For example, I would like have an expanded view of the Core Register SR, with the bottom portion of the register view truncated (by reducing the window size) and also have a second view of the Timer0 registers, with the Core Register entry not expanded. Having several Register entries expanded takes more screen space than I can readily afford.

    There is a button on the toolbar for the Registers view that opens another view (the one with the little +).  You can have as many open as you want.  Each one can has its own state as far as which registers are expanded.

    Regards,

    John

    I'm familiar with expanding the Core Registers and other registers to see their individual bits. I would like to produce multiple detached views focused, more or less, on two or three expanded registers. This will reduce the screen area needed to show two or three expanded views.

    You can open multiple views like what I have done.  You can also "detach" them from the IDE so that they float around.  However there is no way to filter the registers in the view.  All registers are there in each instance of the register view.  However each view does have its own scroll position and expansion state.  I suppose you could try to use the expressions view.

    Here I have added the register group ADC14 to my expressions view.  It is then the only group of registers listed.  You could then create multiple instances of the expressions view with different sets of registers added.

    Multiple presentations as you demonstrate is exactly what I sought. Thank you.

    Had you not demonstrated that multiple views were possible, I would never have found the small Open New View icon at the top of the Expressions and Windows views.If there's another way, such as a drop-down menu, to Open New View, I could not find it.
