SLEU063

8.5.3 Property Sheets

The Property Sheets represent the register data in a user-friendly format. The data is organized by function, with each function having its own page and being selectable via tabs at the top.

To open this, click on Edit Property Sheets in the Edit menu and select the device type to edit.

When the property sheet function is started or whenever you tab to a different page, all readable registers in the device are read from hardware to initialize the dialog pages. Values on the page are changed by manipulating the various dialog controls as seen in Figure 17.

There are OK, Cancel, and Apply buttons at the bottom of each property page. These are explained in detail below.

The property sheets were designed so that the data displayed is always current. Certain actions cause the entire register map to be read from the device and to update the property sheets. This happens when:

1.Property sheets are initially opened.

2.When tabbing from one page to another.

3.When Read All is clicked.

4.When making the Property Sheets window the active window (by clicking on it).

5.When making a Register Map Editor window the active window (by clicking on it).
