CANoe DENoe - KEMT FEI TUKE

To filter out certain messages from the measurement setup, pass filters and blocking
filters are provided as insertable function blocks. Furthermore, the supported PC
cards with acceptance filtering (Messages item in the popup menu of the card icon in
the measurement setup) also offer you the option of filtering out certain messages in
hardware, thereby relieving both the real-time library and the main Windows program
of the need to evaluate unnecessary information.
2.6 Working with Panels and Environment Variables
To permit working with simulated network nodes in CANoe, the network node models
in the simulation setup created in CAPL must be able to react to external events (e.g.
activation of a switch). CANoe also provides you with the option of creating your own
user control interfaces (Panels) and integrating them into the program.
This involves describing external events with the help of environment variables,
whose names and types (discrete/continuous/character string) you define in the database.
CANoe differentiates between discrete, continuous and character string variables.
Switch positions can be represented by discrete environment variables; continuous
environment variables can be used to describe variables such as temperature or engine
speed, while character string variables can be used to represent whole words up
to a length of 24 characters.
You can interactively change the values of these environment variables during a
measurement by activating the controls on the panels. The network node models react
to changes in environment variable values and then execute the appropriate actions
(e.g. sending out a message).
In the other direction, CAPL programs can also change the values of associated environment
variables when certain events occur. This value change can then be visualized
on the panel using display elements.
Therefore, environment variables can also be interpreted as I/O interfaces between
network nodes and their peripheries, i.e. the "wiring" between the particular CAPL
program and its input and output elements on the panels.
The tool for creating panels, the Panel Editor, is described in detail in chapter 5.
2.6.1 Assigning and Positioning Panels
You can assign panels to your active configuration from the main menu item Panel.
After selecting an upper entry, a dialog is opened in which you can link panels in CA-
Noe. This dialog is described in section 2.6.2.
You would choose the menu item Save panel positions to permanently save - in the
CANoe configuration - all of the loaded panels that you have arranged on the screen
according to your working requirements. Then the panels will appear at the same positions
the next time the program is started.
2.6.2 Panel Configuration Dialog
Choose the menu item Panel│Configure Panels to configure the control and display
panels and panel control you wish to work with in CANoe. In the panel configuration
