Specifying an Array or Matrix with Variable Size

1. Open the properties editor for the array/matrix.
2. Use the Name field to edit the element name.

3. In the Attributes area, activate the Reference option.

   The other attributes are disabled.

4. In the Kind combo box, select the kind Variable.

5. In the combo boxes of the Variant Size field, select *.

   The X (and Y) field(s) and the Reference option are disabled.

6. In the Basic Type combo box, assign the element type.

   The basic scalar types, Enumeration, Std_ReturnTypea data type that contains the names of AUTOSAR errors; see RTE Access Macros – Error Codes, and Record are available.

   If you select Enumeration or Record, the following happens.

   The Component combo box appears. It offers all enumerations or records in the database/workspace for selection.

   • Select a suitable enumeration or record.
7. In the Scope field, determine the scope of the element.

8. Specify external and internal access.

   Explicit references cannot be calibrated or measured in an experiment; the settings in the Calibration Access field are irrelevant.

9. Click OK to close the properties editor.

10. Initialize the reference via one of the following possibilities:

    • Map the reference to a non-reference element.

      Note
      References must not be mapped to arrays or matrices used as messages.

    • Use the reference without initialization.
