MxVDev™ Options
Contents
User Options can be accessed from the main menu: Tools->Options
The options described here affect how the MxVDev tool behaves on a specific computer, independent of any specific project. They are stored in the MxVDev.ini file (in the same folder as the executable). Other settings are specific to the project and stored in the project file. For Project-related settings, use the Project->Project Settings menu option.
The options form has five tabs:
•Bring To Front - As a Scenario runs, one or more TestCases are executed. When this option is checked, each test case automatically comes to the foreground as it starts executing. •Create TestCase Image Files - Creates image files for each Test when saved. These files are stored under the ScenariosAndTestCases folder for the project. •Auto-Hide ON when MxVDev starts - This option is not recommended. Use the Signal List to control signal displays. When Auto Hide is checked, signals with no transitions are hidden. •Show Scenario Log Panel - When this option is checked and a scenario completes with failures, MxVDev displays the Scenario Log at the bottom of the screen. |
Values for each signal are displayed in the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen. As the mouse is moved over the signal plot, the values at the bottom of the screen change. You can also configure MxVDev to display the value of a signal as a pop-up message. If the Discrete box is checked, the value of Boolean or Numeric type signals are displayed in a pop-up, as the mouse passes over each transition. |
This tab allows to you to select which advisory Messages will be displayed. |
This tab allows to you to select the maximum number of Regression Report Folders that will be retained. Only folders named with the AutoDate format are counted in this limit. The default folder for Regression Reports is \ScenariosAndTestCases\Report (in the MxVDev project folder). |
 | Additional File Locations (for Transform Files) |
When MxVDev opens a project, it checks the following locations for Transforms referenced in the mxform file: •The bin folder, where the .exe files are located •The bin\3rdPartyTransforms folder if it exists •The location of the mxform file •Any folders in the MxVDev Additional File Locations list
To add or remove folders from the list of Transform file locations, select the Additional File Locations tab and use the buttons. Normally, if you add a folder here, you should also add it in MxTransIt. See Transform File Locations. |
