Model Views

The connections are highlighted in blue when you hover the mouse over any of the connections in the model viewer. It helps you to identify the ports or the connections which are interlinked. The highlighting will be disappeared when you move the mouse. If you want to retain the highlighting, then click on the same connection.

This works for ASCET block diagram models, Simulink models, C-Code derived models and function overview diagrams.

The layout designed in the authoring tool (ASCET) is generated.

Layout algorithms built in EHANDBOOK optimizes the block and connection placements and generates an automatic layout of the ASCET model/Simulink model/Function Overview Diagram.

Virtual connections are displayed for expanded blocks. Virtual connections are additional connections that show the input and output connections of the hierarchical blocks with its parent blocks.

Print Diagram allows you to check and customize the print settings for a model. Print Diagram window is displayed when you invoke the printing action for a model.

The Context Menu (1) contains the following menu items:

In AUTOSAR (Classic) based ECU software, the algorithms of the ECU functions are represented by software components. These software components can have ports of different interface types (e.g., Sender/Receiver or Client/Server). The interfaces which type the ports can have additional entries (e.g., Data Elements as part of the Sender/Receiver interface). To establish communication, the ports must be connected via connectors.

When an EHANDBOOK Container contains component information that was based on AUTOSAR (Classic), the dependency between the components can be shown in the overview diagrams.

The ports in the Function Overview Diagrams are color coded. This helps you in identifying if the ports have any further connections or not. The connected ports are displayed in Red and non-connected ports are displayed in Grey. When you hover the mouse on the connected ports a hand pointer is displayed. Clicking on the connected ports display further functions, values of that port. The connections to the port are highlighted in green. Clicking on non-connected ports does not perform any action.

There are two types of view that are as listed below: * Normal View * Compact View

*Normal View *displays both connected ports and non-connected ports in the function overview diagram.

To apply normal view to a function overview diagram:

When you apply normal view to the function overview diagram a text is indicated at the bottom right corner of each function as shown in the image below:

Compact View displays only the connected ports in the function overview dia- gram. The non-connected ports are hidden in the Compact View.

There is a text indication at the bottom right corner of each function which shows the type of the view that has been applied to the function.

To apply compact view to a function overview diagram:

When you apply compact view to the function overview diagram a text is indicated at the bottom right corner of each function as shown in the image below:

To apply normal or compact view to a specific function follow the steps below:

Show Interface Elements displays interface elements of all the ports of the cur- rent selected function in the function overview diagram.

To display interface elements of a function overview diagram:

When you apply Show Interface Elements to the function overview diagram port names are displayed in blue color and all the respective interface elements are displayed below each port in a tabular format as shown in the image below:

To view interface elements of a specific port, right click on the port and select Show Interface Elements from the context menu. Only the selected port interface elements are displayed.

Hide Interface Elements hides interface elements of all the ports from the currently selected function in the function overview diagram.

To hide interface elements of a function overview diagram:

When you apply Hide Interface Elements to the function overview diagram all the interface elements are hidden as shown in the image below:

To hide interface elements of a specific port, right click on the port and select Hide Interface Elements from the context menu. Only the selected port interface elements are hidden.

After adding interface elements to the function overview diagram and being connected to INCA Experiment or by loading a measurement file it is possible to display values additionally for the interface elements.

To display all values of a function overview diagram click in the status bar and to hide all values of a function overview diagram click in the status bar.

To Show/View info of an interface and interface element follow the steps below:

The label pop-up gets overlapped on the existing pop-up. To view both existing and latest pop-ups you need to pin and drag the latest pop-up to a different position.

To display or hide values on a specific port of a function overview diagram follow the steps below:

When you apply display value to the selected port a table is displayed containing Name, Unit and Values as shown in the image below:

To view interface element of a specific port, hover the mouse on Show Interface Element and select required Interface Element from the context menu, only the selected port interface element is displayed. To hide interface element of a specific port, hover the mouse on Hide Interface Element and select required Interface Element from the context menu, only the selected port interface element is hidden. To view all the interface elements select Show all Interface Elements and to hide all the interface elements select Hide all Interface Elements.

The function overview diagrams derived from AUTOSAR (Classic) based ECU software, values can be annotated to the interface elements. Load Measurement and Calibration Files or Connect to INCA Experiment and keep the interface elements in a Display mode.

To display all values of a function overview diagram click in the status bar, and to hide all values of a function overview diagram click in the status bar.

Click to start the visualization. You can view the live values of the measurement variables and calibration parameters in the interactive model.

You can view the Cursor A & B values. Click buttons to step forward/backward in time for the Cursors A & B.
