Use the Registers pane to view or modify the contents of the registers monitored for your program. The Distributed Debugger initially displays a list of threads for your program.

You can expand the thread entries to display a list of register categories. You can then expand a register category that interests you to examine or edit the contents of the registers in that category.

In the Registers pane, floating-point registers are displayed either as floating-point decimal numbers or as hexadecimal values.
