Correct Invalid Entries and resolve Conflicts

Modifying entries in the editors may lead to invalid settings or conflicts between certain settings. In this case the corresponding fields are underlaid in red.

As long as a row in an editor is preceded by the error symbol , it is neither possible to download the configuration to the (X)ETK device nor to generate the corresponding A2L entries. However, you can save the configuration.

As long as the error symbol is shown, the configuration cannot be downloaded to the (X)ETK device. However, you can generate the corresponding A2L entries if there are no other errors. Saving the configuration is also possible.

Details on the concrete error are given in the Application Log Window.

In cases where there are different options for resolving a conflict, all affected fields are highlighted.

ClosedExample 1: resolving conflicts with priorities in the Raster editor

If a higher priority is assigned to a raster with a larger time period, the fields T [µs] and Priority are underlaid for both rasters. It is sufficient to correct one entry only (i.e. either the time period or the priority for one of the raster) to resolve the conflict and remove the red background from four fields simultaneously.

 

ClosedExample 2: resolving conflicts with trace addresses in the Raster editor

If you are using trace triggers with the trace trigger type "By Value", then all trace triggers must have the same trigger address. In case of violations, the conflicting rasters are preceded by an error symbol .

 

You have the following options for resolving the conflict:

  • Manually: To correct invalid or conflicting settings, modify them.

    Afterwards click somewhere outside the row to update the view and check whether the setting is now valid.

  • Automatically: For certain invalid settings in your configuration, specific context menu entries for correcting the setting are available.

    Examples: Automatically update priorities and Automatically update trigger addresses to ... for rasters with a conflicting setting in the raster editor.

    1. Automatically update priorities: This command modifies the priority settings to form a valid setup (i.e. the raster with the shortest period time receives the highest priority if required).
    2. Automatically update trigger addresses to ...: The trigger adresses of all trace triggers is set to the trigger address of the selected raster.

    These context menu entries are only enabled for items with a conflicting setting of that type.

 

Note  

If the settings are invalid, e.g. because you have changed the microcontroller type after having set up the memory layout or calibration handles, you can check the context menu for commands for creating default settings (e.g. Create Default Memory Layout or Create Default Calibration Handle Set in the Memory Layout Editor). These commands create valid settings which you can use as starting point for further configuration.
