Do you both feel the HitCounter should default to Millis or Count?

Ray, I am not sure about SAM yet but certainly expect to have a SAMD debugger next year.

Tim,

HitCount defaulting to count would make more sense to me, and is more conventional, given that a "pass counter" is a common feature on debuggers.  Not too often I would find using time all that useful, since my code tends to be very heavily event driven.  And, if you don't know about that setting, the name "Hit Count" is very mis-leading.

Regards,
Ray L.

Thanks, I'm going to give it some thought. 

I think a "debugger" toolbar might help make the options more obvious. Then if the HitCount is switched to an integer existing users won't be so easily confused.
