Bean Pop-up Menu

This menu is opened by clicking right mouse button on the icon of the bean from the beans folder of the Project panel. Following commands are available:

 

  • Bean inspector - opens the Bean inspector of the bean. Detailed help concerning the Bean Inspector items can be found in the bean's page of Processor Expert help.
  • Bean enabled - if checked, the selected bean is enabled (included in project).

  • Code generation - allows to individually specify how the and user changes and code generation for the bean are handled by Processor Expert. See chapter User Changes in Generated Code for details.

    • Always Write Generated Bean Modules (default) - generated bean modules are always written to disk and any existing previous module is overwritten
    • Preserve User Changed in Generated Bean Modules - smart detection of user changes.

      Notice: Smart user changes preservation is available only in the 56F800/E version.

    • Don't Write Generated Bean Modules - the code from bean is not generated. Any initialization code of the bean, which resides in the CPU bean, interrupt vector table and shared modules are updated.

    • Compare with Previously Generated Module, Compare with Previously Generated Header Module - compares a file generated by the bean with a previously generated one. The user can use this function to easily track his/her changes made in the generated code. The both commands are available only when the 'Preserve User Changes' option is switched. See chapter Options for details. The bean has to be setup to 'Preserve User Changed in Generated Bean Modules' or 'Don't Write Generated Bean Modules' mode (in this pop-up menu). An internal file-editor in read-only comparison mode is used to show the files differences. See chapter File Editor for details.

  • Rename Bean - allows you to give a project-specific name to the selected bean.
  • View Source - displays the generated module of the bean in File editor.
  • View/Edit Event Module - displays the generated events module of the bean in the File editor.
  • Restore Default Template Settings - restores default template settings. All old settings will be lost.
  • Customize this bean template - saves the selected bean as a template
  • Disconnect Bean From CPU - removes the link(s) between the bean and the associated CPU peripheral(s) ( it clears the corresponding properties of the bean).
  • Remove Bean From Project - removes the selected bean from the current project.
  • Copy to Clipboard - bean with its settings is copied to the clipboard.
