 ===== Register Debugger Does Not Update Software Values =====
-While not a bug, the behavior of the register debugger can be confusing and lead users to think that ACE is not successful communicating to the hardware. The register debugger writes directly to the hardware, and it does not update register values stored in the software. This will cause the register map to be out of sync between the hardware and the software. The registers that are out of sync will be indicated by bold lettering in the register map, as seen in the figure below. If the user clicks the "Apply Changes" or if the Apply Changes transaction is executed by any other sequence in the plug-in, then ACE will update the hardware to match the UI, overriding changes made in the register debugger.
+While not a bug, the behavior of the register debugger can be confusing and lead users to think that ACE is not successful communicating to the hardware. The register debugger reads and writes directly to the hardware, and it does not update register values stored in the software. This allows the user to avoid any events that would be triggered in the plug-in based on the register change, but this will cause the register map to be out of sync between the hardware and the software. The registers that are out of sync will be indicated by bold lettering in the register map, as seen in the figure below.

+As of ACE 1.13, there is an option to change the behavior of the register debugger using the "Update Software Registers" option. Selecting this will cause both the GUI and the hardware to update when registers are read or written through the register debugger.
