Console tabs. Titles not always shown

[medelec35]

If console is a certain size so tabs are in two rows, then mounted at the bottom of flowchart and then moved so its floating, then the following happens:

Also If tab is selected for viewing while running a simulation.
Every time simulation is stopped and restarted you will have to keep selecting same tabs again.
Not sure if that is deliberate or a bug?
If deliberate then perhaps a tick box could be selected to keep same tabs showing on the start of simulation.

Hi.

As far as the incorerct area for the tabs go, that is definitely a bug.

As far as changing the tab on stop/start this is probably the component deleting and recreating its console on start. This can be established by 1) Does the data get cleared on sim start? 2) Does the EEPROM component do this, as this creates its console once only, so won't show the same effect?

1) Does the data get cleared on sim start?

No, Data is retained on start.

2) Does the EEPROM component do this,

Yes all component tabs do this including EEPROM

I have mentioned the about displaying multiple values on one line if it appears like that in terminal software here:

Do you think that's a possibility please?

Also its not obvious how to add RS232 char unlike the + button with FC5 and below.
Option may be already be there, but Is there a way of making this more obvious.
E.g right click add text file or right click and have an option to open a window to type in.
Preferably both options?

Hi Martin.

I haven't been involved in the RS232 component so can't say for sure how it works but what you are asking for is possible. The console can be set to a colour for user input and for program output and can be set read-only or not.

I'll see if I can get the issues you have described with regards to core functionality sorted - showing the <0D> character on line ends is one, and it would be nice to parse ANSI escape sequences as an option.

Hello Martin,

I have edited the RS232 component so it now works in stream mode and allows the data to be seen more easily, have a play and see what you think.

As for queuing your own bytes I will see if I can make this simple to do too.

Hi Ben,
Much better!
Still some minor glitches.
This is what ws displayed:

Code: Select all

7 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0
8 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0
9 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1
 0
10 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0
11 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0
12 0 0 0 0 0 20
 0 1 0
13 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0
14 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0

On hardware they are all in a row e.g.

Code: Select all

7 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0
8 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0
9 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 10
10 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0
11 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0
12 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0
13 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0
14 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0

But if was left as it I will still be much happier than is was before.

Tried another flowchart that had even more chars on one line, that was a bit more broken up.
The flowchart I would like to keep private but I can pm it if required?
