Introduction
With the "Procedure - Settings", you can view and configure the properties of a procedure (see the image below). To access the properties dialog box of a procedure, please right click on the corresponding procedure node in the Solution Explorer and select "Properties" menu entry.
The Procedure - Settings dialog box allows for viewing and configuring the properties of a procedure |
The standard "Procedure - Settings" dialog box consists of the following controls:
- The "Name" text box:
- Here you can change the name of the procedure.
- Note that the name should conform to the OTX Naming Conventions and the name must be unique throughout all procedure signatures and procedures defined in the same OTX document.
- The "Description" (or Specification) area:
- Here you can set the description for the procedure. Hover the mouse over the procedure in the Solution Explorer, you will see the description as a tooltip. The description is optional, you can skip it.
- The "Visibility" radio buttons:
- Here you can set the Visibility attribute for the procedure.
In the dialog box of a procedure, you will find the "More/Less" button which enables you to display (or hide) an extra section. This section contains the following controls:
- The "ValidFor" combo-box:
- You can select an available validity, Boolean global constant or Boolean context variable in the combo-box to connect to the ValidFor attribute of the procedure. It will determine whether a procedure shall be executed through a ProcedureCall (ValidFor value is true) or not (ValidFor value is false) at runtime. If you leave the combo-box empty, the value of the ValidFor is counted as true at runtime.
- The "Implement Signature" combo-box:
- You can use the current procedure to implement a procedure signature by selecting the procedure signature in this combo-box. The procedure will be executed when a ProcedureCall calling to the implemented procedure signature is executed and the value of the ValidFor is true.
- The "ECU Group" section:
- In this section, you can add one or more ECU Groups for the procedure. The first ECU Group in the list will determine the DiagCom characteristics and the ODX tree-view in the Diagnostic Database View tab of the Toolbox when you open the procedure (see also ODX Access Path).
