TotalView User Guide : Part V: Debugging : Debugging Programs : Manipulating Processes and Threads : Updating Process Information

Updating Process Information
Normally, TotalView only updates information when the thread being executed stops executing. You can force TotalView to update a window by using the Window > Update command. You need to use this command if you want to see what a variable’s value is while your program is executing.
*
When you use this command, TotalView momentarily stops execution so that it can obtain the information that it needs. It then restarts the thread.
