Turn on debug while program is running

Hi, 

I am using an Arduino Uno. Each time I start the debugger (serial monitor window) it restarts the Arduino program. If I have a running program, I thought I could plug in the serial port to view the debug information of the currently running program. However, as soon as I click on the button to show the serial monitor window, the Arduino resets. Is there a way to prevent the reset when the serial connection occurs?

The same reset occurs when I connect to the serial port using Terra Term, so this likely is due to the Arduino board and not this debugger. Appreciate any advice to work around this. 

Rgds, 
Brad

Hi Brad,

You should be able to un-tick the DTR checkbox in the serial monitor. 

The DTR is responsible for the re-boot when using the main Serial port.

Thanks
