There is a sample demo that allows you to update the watch expression while running.

 Demonstration of using the Jackrabbit Development Board

 This program will repeatedly flash LED DS3 on the Jackrabbit Development Board
 (bit 2 on port A).  This program also shows the use of the runwatch()
 function to allow Dynamic C to update watch expressions while running.
 To test this:

	 1. 	add a watch expression for "k" under "Inspect:Add/Del Watch Expression"
	 2.	click "Add to top" so that it will be permanently in the watch list
	 3.	while the program is running, type Ctrl+U to update the watch window

******************************************************/
// Set a default of declaring all local variables “auto” (on stack)
#class auto

// C programs require a main() function
void main()
{
static int j; // define an integer j to serve as a loop counter
static int k; // define a counter k to test the watch expression with

// Write 84 hex to slave port control register which initializes parallel
// port A as an output port (port A drives the LED's on the development board).

WrPortI(SPCR, &SPCRShadow, 0x84);

k=0;		// initialize k to zero

// now write all ones to port A which sets outputs high and LED's off

WrPortI(PADR, &PADRShadow, 0xff);

while(1) {  // begin an endless loop

	BitWrPortI(PADR, &PADRShadow, 1, 2);  // turn LED DS3 off

	for(j=0; j<25000; j++)
		; // time delay loop

	BitWrPortI(PADR, &PADRShadow, 0, 2);  // turn LED DS3 on

	for(j=0; j<1000; j++)
		; // time delay loop

	k++;					// increment k
	runwatch();			// update watch expressions for Dynamic C to read

}	// end while loop

} // end program
