Modify Items in the Watch Data View

You can modify data in the Watch Data view using the following ways:

• In-line editing

  You can edit data in the hex value column for the variable, and in the display value column for elementary program variables.

• Data View Value dialog

Ensure that the Watch Data view is visible on the CA InterTest main window. If not, display the Watch Data view.

Note: If data monitoring is in effect then you will not be able to modify the data values when you navigate the trace table.
