•	To run your code, select either Debug>Debug Main Project or Debug Main Project from the Run toolbar.

•	To halt your code, select either Debug>Pause or Pause from the Debug toolbar.

•	To run your code again, select either Debug>Continue or Continue from the Debug toolbar.

•	To step through your code, select either Debug>Step Into or Step Into from the Debug toolbar. Be careful not to step into a Sleep instruction or you will have to perform a processor Reset to resume emulation.

•	To step over a line of code, select either Debug>Step Over or Step Over from the Debug toolbar.

•	To end code execution, select either Debug>Finish Debugger Session or Finish Debugger Session from the Debug toolbar.

•	To perform a processor Reset on your code, select either Debug>Reset or Reset from the Debug toolbar. Additional Resets, such as POR/BOR, MCLR, and System, may be available, depending on the device.
