Signal Data Editor window

This window is used to create and edit the signal data that is input to input pins.

The created signal data can be input to the input pin during simulation by selecting the [Edit] menu >> [Signal Input]. This data can also be saved to the signal data file (*.wvi) by selecting the [File] menu >> [Save]/[Save As...] or by saving the project file.

The saved file contents can be restored by selecting the [File] menu >> [Open...] or by loading the project file.

Caution 1.

If the saved signal data file is opened or the project file is opened while Simulator GUI is running with a microcontroller different from the one used when the signal data file was created, the settings of pins that are not provided in the microcontroller will not be restored.

Caution 2.

The main clock and sub clock cannot be input from this window. Set the main clock/sub clock oscillation frequency on the [Connect Settings] tab in the Property panel.

Caution 3.

If inputting of signals is started during program break, the signals will actually be input when the program is resumed from the break.

Remark 1.

The following data can be displayed or edited in this window:

-	Newly created signal data

-	Previously created signal data files

-	File of signal data previously obtained by performing simulation and saving the results as output signal data

Remark 2.

On the titlebar of this window, "Project file name + Serial number (from 0).wvi" is displayed when the project file has been loaded. However, after having loaded a project file of PM+, then if you save a file as the project file of CS+, "Project file name + CS+ Serial number (from 0).wvi" is displayed on the titlebar.

[Operation]

(1) Pin selection

(2) Creating signal data

(3) Data copy and paste

(4) Single-line editing

(5) Signal input

(6) Operation at CPU reset

(1)	Pin selection

To create the signal data, it is first necessary to select the pin to be used.

Open the Select Pin dialog box by clicking the button on the toolbar or selecting the [Edit] menu >> [Select Pin...], and select the pin to be used. Once a pin is selected, its name is displayed in Pin area.

(2)	Creating signal data

Create the signal data input to each pin.

(a)	Setting of input value

In the Data area, specify the value that is input to each pin (see "Data area").

(b)	Setting of input timing

In the Wait area, specify the timing at which the input value is input to each pin as "wait time" (see "Wait area").

(c)	Setting of the loop information

When loop processing for the signal data specified in step (a) and (b) is needed, specify the loop information.

To specify the loop information, select [Loop Start] from the context menu on the loop start position in the Mark area, and select [Loop End] on the loop stop position.

At this time, the loop count can be specified. In this case, specify the loop count via the Loop dialog box that is opened by selecting [Loop Dialog...] from the context menu.

The corresponding loop information marks are displayed if the setting of the loop information is completed (see "Mark area").

(3)	Data copy and paste

The set values in Mark area/Wait area/Data area can be copied and pasted.

However, copied data can be pasted only in the same area.

Copy

When one or more (a range of) cells are selected, these cells can be copied by selecting the [Edit] menu >> [Copy] (or pressing the [Ctrl] + [C] key).

Paste

When one or more (a range of) cells are selected, these cells can be pasted by selecting the [Edit] menu >> [Paste] (or pressing the [Ctrl] + [V] key).

When multiple (a range of) cells are selected, the copied data is pasted to the cells repeatedly.

(4)	Single-line editing

Single lines can be edited by selecting Line number area.

The method is the same as that described in "(3) Data copy and paste".

Data pasted during line paste (insertion) is inserted immediately before the selected line.

(5)	Signal input

Input the created signal data to the input pins of the simulator while simulation is executed.

At this time, the line whose signal is currently being input (current line) is highlighted in yellow during program breaks (this can be changed via [Inputted current line] item in the Customize dialog box), in order to display signal input progress.

There are the following types of signal data input operations:

Signal input start

Click the button, or select the [Edit] menu >> [Signal Input] >> [Start].

As a result, signal input starts from the current signal input line (highlighted line).

Signal input stop

Click the button, or select the [Edit] menu >> [Signal Input] >> [Stop].

This stops signal input.

Signal reset

Click the button, or select the [Edit] menu >> [Signal Input] >> [Reset].

This returns the current signal input line to the beginning. If signal reset was performed during signal input, input continues from the beginning.

Remark

The signal data input to the selected pin can be controlled by selecting the [Edit] menu >> [Pin Status] >> [Valid]/[Invalid].

(6)	Operation at CPU reset

When CPU reset occurs, the current signal input line returns to the beginning.

If a CPU reset occurs during signal input, input continues from the beginning (same operation as the button).
