The XML-formatted SDAT files have an extension of ".xsdat". ". To view the file as XML you need to open the file with your browser or an XML viewer/editor. For convenience you should associate the .xsdat extension with this application so it will be used during subsequent viewing; see instructions under the "Application File Association" section, found below.
Note:The Style Sheet (sensor_data.xsl) must be at the same folder level as the .xsdat file.
...
- Right-click any .xsdat file and select "Properties".
- Select the "Change" button next to "Opens with:"
- Select the application you want to be used to open the .xsdat file. If the application isn't found, use the "Browse…" button to add it to the list.
- Select "OK" to close the "Opens With" dialog, and "OK" on the Properties dialog.
RegDB and Style Sheet Information
To export a .xsdat file from regDB, follow the same procedure as exporting a .sdat but use the "SDAT XML" options ( [NDA] and [Confidential] ).
The Style Sheet can also be exported by selecting "SDAT XML Style Sheet", or copying the file (sensor_data.xsl) from the standard folder where the SDAT files are located.
Note:The Style Sheet must be at the same folder level as the .xsdat file for proper view formatting.
Display Information
The Style Sheet has been designed to preset the SDAT information in a more readable format.
The "Chip Descriptor" section displays the part's basic configuration information.
The "Address Spaces" section displays the various register pages used by this sensor.
The "Register/Bitfield Definition" section displays the registers and associated bitfields, along with their related information.
Bitfields are indented from their parent registers.
All Confidential items are highlight in Red. This applies to both internal and external .xsdat files. This is especially helpful for internal SDAT files where there was previously no indication of the confidential status of a register or bitfield. For internal .xsdat files, confidential registers and bitfields have their regular name, where as the external .xsdat file those registers and bitfields are renamed to their generic counterparts ( "RESERVED_" for registers, "BIT_" or "BITS_*" for bitfields ).
