Properties Editor for CT Block Elements

This window contains the following elements. Some of them are unavailable in certain cases.

Area General

• Name field

  This field contains the element name.

• Unit field

  In this field, you can enter a unit for the element.

• Comment field

  In this field, you can enter a comment for the element.

• Dimension field

  This field displays the dimension of characteristic lines and maps. It is not available for other elements.

• Interpolation combo box

  This combo box is only available for characteristic lines and maps. It offers all available interpolation routines. By default, Rounded and Linear are available; further routines can be added by the user (see User-Defined Interpolation Routines).

• Kind field

  This field displays the element kind: Constant, Parameter, Variable, Input, Output. For elements of other kinds (i.e., steplocal variables, dependent parameters, discrete or continuous states), the Kind field is empty. The element kind cannot be changed.

Area Basic Type

• Basic Type combo box

  This combo box contains a selection of the following options for the element type: Logic, Signed Discrete, Unsigned Discrete, Limited Integer, Wrap-Around Integer, Continuous, Enumeration, Std_ReturnType, Record. One of them is selected at a time.

  Note
  Enumeration and Std_ReturnTypea data type that contains the names of AUTOSAR errors; see RTE Access Macros – Error Codes are available for scalar elements and arrays, Record is available for arrays.

• Component combo box

  Note
  Available only for enumerations and arrays of enumeration or record type.

  For enumerations, this combo box offers all enumerations available in the database or workspace, together with the respective path.

  For arrays of enumeration or record type, this combo box offers all enumerations or records available in the database or workspace, together with the respective path.

• Min and Max fields

  These fields contain lower and upper limit for a limitInt or wrapInt argument.

  For limitInt, the values in Min and Max must be representable in sint32 or uint32.

  For wrapInt, the values in Min and Max must be representable in the selected Type.

  • context menu in the Min field

    • Default Value

      Inserts the default minimum value for the selected type.

    • Copy (<Ctrl> + <c>)

      Copies the selected field content to the clipboard.

    • Paste (<Ctrl> + <v>)

      Inserts the clipboard content into the Min field.

    • 0 (minimum for uint*) / -2^7 (-128) (minimum for sint8) / -2^15 (-32768)(minimum for sint16) / -2^31 (-2147483648)(minimum for sint32)

      Inserts the respective value.

  • context menu in the Max field

    • Default Value

      Inserts the default maximum value for the selected type.

    • Copy (<Ctrl> + <c>)

      Copies the selected field content to the clipboard.

    • Paste (<Ctrl> + <v>)

      Inserts the clipboard content into the Max field.

    • 2^7-1 (127) or 2^8-1 (255)(maximum for sint8 / uint8)

    • 2^15-1 (32767) or 2^16-1 (65535)(maximum for sint16 / uint16)

    • 2^31-1 (2147483647) or 2^32-1 (4294967295)(maximum for sint32 / uint32)

      Inserts the respective value.

• Type combo box

  This combo box contains the possible types for a wrapInt element.

Area Scope

Areas Attributes, External Access, Internal Access and Calibration Access
