NV-Data Mapping View

The NV-Data Mapping view contains the following elements.

Top Bar

• information field

  Shows whether NV data mapping is complete (), incomplete (), or contains invalid mappings ().

• Update

  Updates the instances of the NVData interfaces, records, classes and modules, i.e. imports changes in these components into the SWC AUTOSAR software component (singular; plural is SWCs).

• Auto-Mapping

  Maps all unmapped non-volatile variables to NVData interface elements with identical type and names that match the pattern in the combo box.

• combo box for auto-mapping pattern

  In this combo box, you determine the pattern used for automatic mapping. See Automatic Mapping for details.

• 

  Opens the ASCET options window in the Appearance\Editors\Software Component node. In that node, you can adjust the patterns available for automatic mapping.

• /

  Shows () or hides () the upper table.

Upper Table

• NV Variables column

  This column lists all unmapped non-volatile variables of scalar, enumeration, array, matrix, or record type from all components directly or indirectly used in the software component. The NV variables non-volatile variable are displayed as follows:

  exported or imported NV variables		<variable>
  local NV variables		self.<module>[.<nested module>...].<variable>

  • input field and button above the column

    You can enter a text string in the input field and then click to filter the list of available NV variables by name. The filter is case-insensitive; it finds all NV variables whose names contain the text string.

    An active filter is indicated by a green overlay icon: Click the button to remove the filter.

  • properties filter above the column

    Opens the Filter Criteria dialog window, which allows filtering the list by selected properties.

    An active type filter is indicated by a green overlay icon on both filter buttons:

• NV-Data Interface elements column

  This column lists all unmapped NVData interface elements that are available for mapping.

  • scalar, enumeration, array, matrix, and record elements of NVData interfaces
  • scalar, enumeration, array, and matrix elements of records in NVData interfaces

  The elements are displayed as follows:

  interface elements		<interface>.<element>
  elements in complex interface elements		<interface>.<record>[.<nested record>...].<element>

  Note
  Record elements of nested records (record A contains record B, which contains record C, etc.) in NVData interfaces are not listed.

  • input field, properties filter and button above the column

    The same as in the NV Variables column.

• context menu (upper table)

  • Update

    Updates the instances of the NVData interfaces, records, and modules, i.e. imports changes in these components into the SWC.

  • Auto-Mapping

    Maps all unmapped imported and local non-volatile variables to NVData interface elements with identical type and names that match the pattern in the combo box.

Button

Maps an NV variable selected in the NV Variables column to an interface element selected in the NV-Data Interface elements column.

Mapping field – Lower Table

• input field, properties filter and button above the column

  The same as in the NV Variables column in the upper table.

• NV Variables column

  This column lists all non-volatile variables of scalar, enumeration, array, matrix, or record type from all components directly or indirectly used in the software component.

• icon column

  This column contains icons that represent the mapping status.

  	The NV variable is unmapped.
  	Mapping is okay. The NV variable is mapped to a suitable NVData interface element.
  	Mapping is invalid, e.g., because the type of the NVData interface element changed after mapping.

• NV-Data Interface elements column

  This column shows NVData interface elements mapped to the NV variables in the NV Variables column of the Mapped field.

  If no mapping exists (–––), the NV-Data Interface elements column can be used to perform mapping. A double-click in a table cell opens a list of all suitable NVData interface elements.

  Unsaved changed mappings are indicated by blue font.

  

• context menu (lower table)

  • Edit

    Opens the list of available NVData interface elements for selection.

  • Remove (<Delete>)

    Removes an existing mapping.

  • Remove All

    Removes all existing mappings.

  • Revert Changes

    Reverts unsaved mapping changes.

  • Auto-Mapping

    Maps all unmapped NV variables to NVData interface elements with identical type and matching name.

  • Export

    Opens the Export Settings dialog window where you can export mappings to an *.xml or *.csv file.

  • Import

    Imports mappings from an *.xml or *.csv file.

  • Create ASCET Link

    Creates an ASCET link for the selected source or target of a mapping, or the selected entire mapping. The link opens the component in the software component editor, opens the NV-Data Mapping view and highlights the mapping part or mapping.

The Mapping menu contains the same options as the context menu.
