winIDEA will always refresh displayed information when the CPU stops. Additionally you can configure winIDEA to periodically refresh displayed information.

 

Open Debug / Debug Options / Update to tailor the debugging experience to your needs.

 

 

Real-time Access

•Update when running -  Update displayed information when the CPU is running

•Update when stopped (not recommended) - Update displayed information when the CPU is stopped

•Update Period - Determine the interval to update real-time information

 

Monitor Access

Accessing memory using a debug monitor gives access to all memory available to the CPU, the CPU must however be stopped for this purpose.

Update all configured update targets when:

•the CPU is running

•when the CPU is stopped

•when a conditional breakpoint's condition is evaluated to zero

 

Update Period - Determine the interval in which winIDEA updates monitored information. Default  0.05 s / 1 s, applies to all architectures.

Define the desktop information to update:

•Watch - expressions in the watch window

•Memory - currently open memory windows
