DevWareX is a multi-platform implementation of DevWare, created with a more flexible GUI-generation tool. It has the same layout and controls as DevWare, but with additional features. |
...
- The following features are unique to DevWareX
- Most dialogs are dockable
- Sensor Control dialog organized by function; Sensor/DevWare/Bypass (when SOC or ISP is connected)
- Graphing dialog; Histogram shown as bar data
- Log dialog; time-stamp for each entry
- Embedded Data / Statistics tab
- Auto SW download (external only); user prompted for SW download when SDAT file is not found
- Zoom stays centered
- Zoom; increment and specific values can be entered
- Options Menu reorganized; Sensor-specific items are now in Diagnostics/Sensor Advanced
- Warning log window
- Watch dialog items can be rearranged
- Watch dialog items can be Non-registers (Python function or STATE variable)
- Register Dialog; arrays are collapsed
- Register Dialog; search shows all matches
- Register Dialog; select which pages appear on the Tabs
- Export SHIP Log
- Generate File Name
- Rulers available for image display
- Zoom to Pixel
- Multiple ROIs
- The following are other changes unique to DevWareX
- The "All Access" Register tab has now been replaced with a separate dialog called "Register All Access (Peek & Poke)".
- It also replaces the stand-alone "Peek & Poke" application as that was a duplication of function.
- It is enabled under View -> Register All Access (Peek & Poke).
The dialog can then be accessed from the tab at the bottom of the Register dialog.
...
- Register Dialog; select which pages appear on the Tabs
- By use of a "Push-Pin" on the Page tab, you can select which Tabs will stay displayed.
- A maximum of 6 tabs can be pinned, with on tab being non-pinable.
- Export SHIP Log
- Enables the ability to filter the SHIP log by address and Read/Write.
- Presented in "Wizard" dialog.
...
- Rulers available for image display
- A ruler is available in the image display that corresponds to Pixel width/height.
- Enable/disable via "View / Rulers".
- Zoom to Pixel
- The mouse scroll wheel can zoom in to the Pixel value level.
- Use the "Mouse Selection / Point" to select the desired Pixel, which results in the width/height location and the "cross-hair" of the Pixel.
- Use the "cross-hair" location to follow the Pixel as you zoom in to the Pixel value.
- Multiple ROIs
Up to 8 ROIs of any type can be set.
There is an 8-way radio button on the Mouse Selection Area dialog (click on the Mouse Selection bar on the Info panel) to select and define the ROIs.
One ROI is active at a time, and that ROI drives the Analisys Graph, Noise Measurement, etc.
The active ROI can be changed on the Mouse Selection Area dialog, or by clicking on the ROI outline in the video window.
- Also, how the mouse interacts with the ROIs on the video window has been changed.
- To move an ROI, you must click on its line. Clicking away from an ROI line will drag the image (that is, you can now drag the image without locking the selection).
- A Rectangle ROI can now be resized by dragging a corner or edge. Also, Rectangle ROIs are drawn as rectangles rather than as two sets of parallel lines, so the image is less cluttered when there are multiple of them.
- ROIs can also be set programmatically with Python, devware.set_active_mouse_sel(index) and then devware.set_mouse_selection(...).
