Data View
The Data View allows you to keep track of specific variables as you move around your program, and to manipulate the data in those variables in a number of ways. You add variables to the Data View by selecting them in the Local Variables (VAR) drawer of the Call Stack view and either dragging them into the Data View, or right-clicking and selecting Add to Data View from the context menu.
Once data is in the Data View, you can do a number of things:
Dereference pointers to access the data they point to
Recast data to see different views of it, such as recasting pointers to the first value in an array into the actual array so you can see the contained values
Changing data values to see the effect on the program
