Analog Button Properties dialog box


This property dialog box is used to set or change the pin connection information of analog buttons, which are one of the connection parts in the I/O Panel window.

Input to the simulator can be done from pin-connected analog buttons in the Simulation mode.

There are two types of analog button display styles, figure and bitmap. These styles can be changed on the [[Style] tab].

Pin connection information setting area

Label

This area is used to specify the part name. The part name input here is displayed on the button. Moreover, it is also displayed in the Parts List dialog box as the label.

Pin Name

This area is used to specify the pin name to be connected. The connection pins can be specified either via direct input or through selection from the drop-down list.

Active

Specify the active state.

Check box

Analog buttons are created by the number of selected check boxes.

Label

Directly input the name to be displayed on each analog button.

Voltage(mV)

Directly input the voltage to be input when each analog button is clicked, in mV units.

Arrange

Specify the button arrangement using the option button.

This setting is available if two or more analog buttons have been created in the Active area.

This setting is ignored if there is only one analog button or no analog buttons have been created.

Row

Analog buttons will be arranged horizontally (default).

Column

Analog buttons will be arranged vertically.

default

Maintains the analog button operation after CPU reset.

Not change at reset.

Maintains the analog button status immediately before CPU reset, after CPU reset.

inactive

All of the analog buttons are non-depressed after CPU reset (default).

Active is 'xxx'yyy(mV)

The analog button specified with "'xxx'(yyymV) " is depressed after CPU reset.

Inactive

Specify the input level when no analog buttons are depressed.

Remark

For the pin names that can be specified, see the user's manual of the microcontroller that is used.
