XPM Logic View

 

Using the Logic View

 
The Logic View is invoked by clicking a button on the Adorner of an XPM Logic type Function Block.
 
 
The Logic View provides Mouse-Over highlighting effects that allow you to visually identify connected logic gate relationships to other gates, inputs, or outputs.  Hover your mouse over a block or connection line to highlight relationships for the connection or block.
 
The Logic View uses the block color of the Logic Function block for its gate, input, and output block foreground colors.  Connection colors are configurable through the "Options" Tool Window.
 
You can select a block in the Logic View by clicking on its surface.  This will render a border to show the selection visual.
 
You can resize the Logic View by grabbing the views corner thumbs using your left mouse button and while holding down the button drag to a new size.  The view will often have to be resized based on its configured LOGMIX value.
 

Printing the Logic View

 
You can print the Logic View to an XPS document or save the Logic View to a PNG image file using the Button targets located at the top of the view.
 
 

Choosing Connection Colors

 
You can choose the color to be used for input, gate-to-gate, and output type connections through the "Options" Tool Window.  The default is the color Blue for connections to LISRC(n), the color Black for connections between logic gates, and the color Green for connection to output LOSRC(n) or LOENBL(n) parameters.
 
 

Choosing Connection type rendering

 
You can choose whether or not input or output type connections are rendered in the view through the "Options" Tool Window.
 
 

Select the Highlight Connection stroke width

 
You can change the thickness of a highlighted connection line through the "Options" Tool Window.  The default is a stroke width of 2 units.
