Debug Tool session panel

The Debug Tool session panel contains a header with information about the program you are debugging, a command line, and up to three physical windows. A physical window is the space on the screen dedicated to the display of a specific type of debugging information. The debugging information is organized into the following types, called logical windows:

Monitor window
Variables and their values, which you can display by entering the SET AUTOMONITOR ON and MONITOR commands.
Source window
The source or listing file, which Debug Tool finds or you can specify where to find it.
Log window
The record of your interactions with Debug Tool and the results of those interactions.
Memory window
Section of memory, which you can select by entering the MEMORY command.

Each physical window can be assigned only one logical window. The physical window assumes the name of the logical window, so when you enter commands that affect the physical window (for example, the WINDOW SIZE command), you identify the physical window by providing the name of its assigned logical window. Physical windows can be closed (not displayed), but at least one physical window must remain open at any time.

The Debug Tool session panel below shows the default layout which contains three physical windows: one for the Monitor window  1 , a second for the Source window  2 , and the third for the Log window  3 .
