Properties Editor for Implementation Casts, Record Elements and Mode Groups

This properties editor window is used to edit the properties of implementation casts, mode groups, and elements included in records. (Records included in modules, classes, SWC, etc. use the Properties Editor for Included Components.) It contains the following elements.

Area General

• Name field

  This field contains the element name.

• Unit field

  Note
  This field can only be edited for implementation casts.

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

• Comment field

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

• Dimension field

  Note
  Only available for arrays and matrices.

  This field displays the dimension of the element.

  • X and Y fields

    In these fields, you can enter the maximum X (and Y) size of the element.

• Kind field

  Displays the element kind (e.g., implementation cast, variable, system constant).

Area Basic Type

• Basic Type combo box

  This combo box lists the element type. Implementation casts are of type Continuous, records in records are of type Complex, included mode groups are of type Mode Group.

  For scalar and composite record elements, you can edit the basic type. Available selections are Logic, Signed Discrete, Unsigned Discrete, Limited Integer, Wrap-Around Integer, Continuous, Enumeration, Std_ReturnType, and – for arrays/matrices only – Record.

  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, arrays and matrices, Record is available for arrays and matrices.

• Component combo box

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

  For implementation casts and elements in records, this combo box is deactivated.

  For arrays/matrices 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

  Note
  Only available for scalar and array record elements of type limitInt or wrapInt.

  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

  Note
  Only available for scalar and array/matrix record elements of type wrapInt.

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

Area Calibration Access

Option Always Show Editor for new Elements

This option determines whether the properties editor opens automatically if a new element is inserted.
