State indicators (under the button bar) keep track of the browser configuration.
Hierarchical Windows
The browser’s windows are organized following a hierarchical model much like
directories in a file system. It is possible to hide or display groups of data selectively by
closing or opening the groups in which they belong. Each group is identified by a title
preceded by a folder-like icon. This icon groups related information and is open by
default. A mouse click on this icon closes it, thus hiding the information in groups.
Because the information model is hierarchical, closing the top-level folder icon hides all
the underlying groups.
Task Information
Show Facility
Memory Utilization
Loaded Modules
Tasks are displayed in two lists: one for system tasks (WRS tasks), the other for user tasks.
These lists can be closed or opened by clicking the folder icons. A synopsis of each task is
provided, including the task ID, the task name, and the task status.
Clicking on the task ID in either task list displays a pop-up window holding data about
the selected task, such as its attributes, stack, and registers.
The browser can display detailed information about objects managed by the remote target
system. To use this feature, type or copy an object’s name or ID into the text window, and
then press the Show button. If the object type is known, a pop-up window holding
various details about the object is displayed.
The browser displays two bar graphs that represent the amount of allocated memory in
the target agent’s memory pool and in the target runtime’s memory pool.
Clicking in the lower bar graph displays a specialized browser that gives detailed
information about the target memory usage.
The lowest part of the browser window gives information about loaded modules: module
ID, module name, size of text segment, size of data segment, and size of bss segment. The
total size for all text, data, and bss segments is also displayed.
If more precise information about a module is required, clicking on the module name or
ID will display a hierarchical window that holds data such as load options, module
format, module type, module address, module segment size, and a list of the published
module symbols. Use the parameter-adjustment button to specify how to sort symbols.
