Number of bits: pointer

Pointer bit length for test hardware

Model Configuration Pane: Hardware Implementation

Description

The Number of bits: pointer parameter specifies the bit length of pointer data for the hardware that you use to test code.

Selecting a device by using the Device vendor and Device type parameters sets a device-specific value for this parameter.

Dependencies

This parameter is enabled only if you can modify it for the selected hardware.

Settings

64 (default) | 8 | 16 | 24 | 32 | 40 | 48 | 56

The pointer bit length must be an integer multiple of 8 that is less than or equal to 64. Different devices have different settings available for this parameter.
