Properties Editor for Interrunnable Variables

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.

• Kind field

  This field contains a selection of the following options for the element kind: Constant, System Constant, Parameter, Variable, Interrunnable Variable. Further entries for subkinds of system constants can be added by the user; see User-Defined System Constants.

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

• Component combo box

  Note
  Available only 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

The scope of interrunnable variables is set to Local. It cannot be changed.

Area Internal Access

• Implicit option

  Activates implicit communication mode for the interrunnable variable.

• Explicit option

  Activates explicit communication mode for the interrunnable variable.

  Note
  One of these options is always active. You cannot activate or deactivate both at the same time.

Area Calibration Access

• Read option

  When the option is activated, the interrunnable variable will be included in an ASAM-MCD-2MC file generated for the enclosing project. If the option is deactivated, the interrunnable variable will not be included in the ASAM-MCD-2MC file.

Option Always Show Editor for new Elements

This option determines whether the properties editor opens automatically if a new element of the selected kind is created.
