Target Task Settings

The new dialog can be started by the Target Task Settings… button.

Every line in this dialog corresponds to one task. Each task is created to support one of the following features:

Each line contains the task name, the priority, the polling rate and the buffer size fields.

Any of these lines will appear/disappear if the proper feature is enabled/disabled:

Note: If the Single Polling Rate is set, only one task will appear in the dialog list; otherwise, two tasks will be created.

You can establish the priority, polling rate, and the buffer size for any of these tasks. But be very careful, because improper settings may cause unpredictable behavior of the generated code. For example, if the priority of one of the tasks is too high, the other tasks won’t work and the generated code will hang. Too small a buffer size may cause the buffer to overflow and physically adjacent data would be lost.
