In PXROS applications, there may be situations when you need detailed information on the running system, which cannot be accessed via the debugger. The PXROS monitoring program PXmon displays task-related information such as

• stack usage,
• the number of objects,
• the state of the task, and
  
• execution tracing.

PXmon creates a peephole into the PXROS application which the debugger can use to obtain information on the system. The PXmon user interface, which is located at the debugging machine, communicates with a special PXmon task in the PXROS system. This task has no effect on the interrupt system or on any tasks of higher priority. The interference with other tasks and with the real-time behaviour is minimal. The only prerequisite for using PXmon is the availability of a UART interface or the possibility to communicate via TCP/IP.
