The ability to set arbitrary values into simple display devices is not needed in typical design
activities. However, it gives users a simple mechanism for verifying that these devices are
functioning correctly in case a malfunction is suspected. Thus, it can be used for troubleshooting
purposes.
Choosing the Switches tab leads you to the window in Figure 2-5. The function is designed to
monitor the status of slide switches and push buttons in real time and show the status in a graphical
user interface. It can be used to verify the functionality of the slide switches and push-buttons.

The ability to check the status of push-button and slide switch is not needed in typical design
activities. However, it provides users a simple mechanism to verify if the buttons and switches are
functioning correctly. Thus, it can be used for troubleshooting purposes.

As shown below, we will describe how the SDRAM may be accessed; Click on the Memory tab and
select āSDRAMā to reach the window in Figure 2-6.
