Menus
All commands to the Configuration Manager are available as items on the menus present
on the menu bar. The File menu provides the conventional New, Open, Save and
Save As... commands for creating and editing your Target Parameter File. It also provides
the Exit command.
When the Target Configuration Module selector icon is the currently active selector, the
Generate... command on the File menu can be used to generate your Target Configuration
Module. The path to the template file required by the generator to create this product can
be defined using the Templates... command on the File menu.
The Edit menu provides the conventional Cut, Copy, Paste and Undo editing commands.
It also includes an Undo Page command to restore the content of all fields on a property
page to undo a series of unwanted edits to the page. The Toolbar is hidden or made
visible using the View Toolbar command on the Edit menu.
The Help menu provides access to the complete AMX Configuration Manager reference
manual. Context sensitive help is also available by pressing the F1 function key or
clicking the ? button on the Toolbar.
Field Editing
When the Target Configuration Module selector icon is the currently active selector, the
Target Configuration Module's tabbed property sheet is displayed in the central region of
the screen. Each tab provides access to a particular property page through which your
target configuration parameters can be declared. For instance, if you select the ISP tab,
the Configuration Manager will present an ISP definition window (property page)
containing all of the parameters you must provide to completely define an Interrupt
Service Procedure.
Some fields are boolean options in which all you can do is turn the option on or off by
checking or unchecking the associated check box.
Some fields are option fields in which you must select one of a set of options identified
with radio buttons. Click on the option button which meets your preference.
Other fields may require numeric or text entry. Parameters are entered or edited in these
fields by typing new values or text to replace the current field content. Only displayable
characters can be entered. New characters which you enter are inserted at the current
cursor position in the field. Right and left arrow, backspace and delete keys may be used
to edit the field.
When you are altering a numeric or text field, you tell the Configuration Manager that
you are finished editing the field by striking the Enter key. At that point, the
Configuration Manager checks the numeric value or text string that you have entered for
correctness in the context of the current field. If the value or text string that you have
entered is invalid, an error indication is provided on the status bar at the bottom of the
screen suggesting how the fault should be corrected.
The Tab and Shift-Tab keys can also be used to complete the editing of a field and move to
the next or previous field.
