- to export user settings as pre-defined settings
- to import node or application settings
The Work Area
The work area of the Targeting Expert is used for giving input masks for the different configurations and scalings.
The different input masks are described in
- Configure how to Make the Component
- Configure Compiler, Linker and Make
- Configure and Scale the Target Library
- Configure the SDL Target Tester (Cmicro only)
- Configure the Host (Cmicro only)
The Event Log
The Targeting Expert has an event log containing information about found inconsistencies, read/write problems concerning file access, output, etc.
Analyzer/Compiler Errors
You can access analyzer and compiler errors by double clicking the error message in the event log.
- In case of an analyzer error the SDL Editor is displayed with the erroneous SDL symbol highlighted.
- In case of a compiler error the selected editor is displayed with the erroneous line highlighted.
Note 1: the selected editor must be able to highlight the desired line. It has to be selected in the Customization of the Targeting Expert.
Note 2: the compiler's error message syntax must be described in the Compiler Error Descriptions section in file sdttaex.par for the compiler used.
