Your two main controls in debugger are F9 to Run and F7 to single step.
F7 will update the Watch and File Register windows on each instruction step.

In your code you add a Breakpoint at the place you want to start single stepping, so in debugger you first F9 Run and it will go through your code at full speed and then stop at the Breakpoint so you can F7 Single step and examine the contents of the registers.

If you use 2 breakpoints then you can use the Stopwatch to measure how long a specific routine like a delay takes.
