Tools Menu (Component Manager)
This menu contains the following functions:
Documentation
Contents | Opens the "Documentation Contents" window. This is where the items to be documented are selected. |
Options | Setting options for documentation generation. |
See also: Automatic Documentation – Overview
Database
Note |
|---|
For workspaces, this menu is named Workspace. It contains the Convert submenu structure and the Find unused * menu options. |
Performance Utilities | Opens the Database Info for: <database> window. It provides four, partly combinable, database administration functions. | |||
Convert | Modify Components to Force Configuration Update | All components are set to modified state, so that the next time a component is accessed, its implementation is checked and – if necessary – adjusted. | ||
All Names to ANSI C | All names in the database/workspace are converted to ANSI C. | |||
Reserved component names | Converts reserved component names (see Reserved Keywords) to allowed component names. Example: A component AUX is renamed to AUX_1. | |||
System Constants to Constants | Converts all normal and user-defined system constants to constants. See also Kind of Elements. | |||
Variables to Volatile | Assigns the volatile attribute to all variables in the database/workspace. See also Assigning the Volatile Attribute to All Variables, Element Configuration, and references therein. | |||
Parameters to Nonvolatile | Assigns the non-volatile attribute to all parameters in the database/workspace. | |||
Components/Elements to Default Memory Location | Inserts the memory location Default into all element implementations in the database/workspace. | |||
Convert Local messages in SWCs to Interrunnables | Converts messages of local scope in SWCs to interrunnable variables. See also Interrunnable Variables. | |||
Convert all array references/arguments/local variables/returns to variable references | Converts all array references/arguments/local variables/returns in the database/workspace to arrays with variable size. See also Variable Size for Arrays and Matrices. | |||
Convert all matrix references/arguments/local variables/returns to variable references | Converts all matrix references/arguments/local variables/returns in the database/workspace to matrices with variable size. See also Variable Size for Arrays and Matrices. | |||
Convert all old integer types to new integer types where possible | Searches all projects and their included components in the database/workspace for scalar, array and matrix elements that use the sdisc or udisc types. Converts the detected elements to limitInt or wrapInt, if possible. | |||
Change compiler reference GCC 13.2.0 x64 to GCC | Searches for projects that use the GCC 13.2.0 x64 compiler and replaces that selection with the GCC <x>.<y>.<z> selection. See also Changing Compiler References. | |||
Operator Implementations to Impl Casts | Replaces existing operator implementations with implementation casts. | |||
Reset Operator Implementations | Removes all operator implementations from the database/workspace. | |||
Show Operator Implementations | Displays a list of operator implementations in the ASCET monitor window. | |||
Compare Database | Compares the current database with a selected second database. | |||
Show Unreadable Items | Lists database items so damaged that they cannot be read by ASCET. | |||
Show Items with duplicate Dataset Names | Searches for components with duplicate dataset names and lists them in the Items with duplicate dataset names window. You can then manually correct the duplicate names; see Renaming a Data Set. | |||
Finds all components in the database/workspace that are not referenced anywhere. The results are listed in the Unused Components window.
| ||||
Finds all implementation sets in the database/workspace that are not referenced anywhere. The results are listed in the Unused Implementation Sets window.
| ||||
Finds all data sets in the database/workspace that are not referenced anywhere. The results are listed in the Unused Data Sets window.
| ||||
Arithmetic Service Editor
Opens the target-specific services.ini file, which contains definitions for arithmetic services, in a text editor (see also Arithmetic Services).
PC | For the PC target. |
other targets | Other targets appear if ASCET‑RP or ASCET‑SE are installed. |
AUTOSAR to ASCET Converter
Opens the A2A Converter dialog window. This converter transforms the ARXML file(s) containing all necessary information describing a software component (i.e. AUTOSAR types, interfaces, software component type) into the AMD format. Afterwards, ASCET imports the AMD files into the active database or workspace.
Network Settings (<Ctrl> + <Shift> + <n>)
Opens the Network settings for ETAS hardware (Page 1) window, only relevant for ASCET‑RP.
Views (<Ctrl> + <Shift> + <v>)
Opens the Views window, where views are managed (see Views).
Block Library (<Ctrl> + <Shift> + <b>)
Opens the Block Library Editor window, where block libraries are managed (see Block Libraries).
Options (<Ctrl> + <Shift> + <o>)
Opens the "Options" window, which allows the setting of various options (see Setting Up ASCET).
