Usually, the contents of the watch variable's memory location are displayed and modifiable in the
Value field. There are two conditions when the data is not displayed in the Value field:
1. When the Data Type of the watch variable is 'struct' the memory contents will not be displayed in
the 'Value' field.
2. When the 'Elements' field is greater than 1 and the 'Display As' value is not ASCII (non-character
array) the memory contents will not be displayed in the 'Value' field.

When the Display As property is changed, the value from memory is displayed in the Value field. If
you changed the Value and did not click OK before changing the Display As value, the data change
is lost.
When a display format is applied to an array or a struct watch variable, all the elements (or fields) of
the variable are displayed in the selected format.
