Component Inspector

Component Inspector is one of the inspector view variants intended to configure component settings. It allows to setup Properties, Methods, and Events of a component. Use command Help on Component from View menu (invoked by the down arrow icon) to see documentation for currently opened component.

Note: Property settings influencing the hardware can often be better presented by the processor package view using the Processor view. See Processor view topic for details.

The Build options page is present only in the processor component and it provides access to the settings related to linker and compiler.

The Resources page shows list of the processor component resources. You can also manually block individual resources for using them in Processor Expert.

The page consists of the three columns:

First shows the name of the resource. Resources are in groups according to which device they belong to.
Second column allows you to either reserve resource (for example pin) for external device or to be used in Processor Expert. Reserved resource is not used in Processor expert.
Third column shows the current status of the resource and the name of the component which uses it (if the resource is already used).

For more details on component inspector items, see Dialog for timing settings and Syntax for the timing setup in the Component Inspector topic.
