Viewing I/O ports with debugger

[Jim McBride]

Can you use the debugger to view I/O ports while stepping through your code? I have tried but don't seem to be getting the syntax correct. How is this done?

Let's say you are trying to watch PORT B. Define a byte variable like this:

#byte PORTB=0x06 //The address depends on the PIC you are using

And then add PORTB (or PORTB,b or PORTB,h) to the watch window. You can also use it as a normal variable; for example for setting RB0 and clearing the rest you can use
PORTB=0b00000001;

I can't seem to find the syntax you came up with. Am I correct in assuming that PORTB,b would give you binary, PORTB,h would give you hex?
Thanks for the help!!
