The 'Simulation Debugger' window becomes active during flowchart simulation and is used to monitor the status of the variables in your program and the progress of the microcontroller as the execution enters and leaves macros in the program.

The Simulation Debugger window also supports the ICD mode allowing for the macro call stack and variable values to be read directly from the microcontroller as it runs, it can also be used to pass or receive values of memory locations and registers on board the target microcontroller. This is useful for detecting and troubleshooting call stack overflows.
