Settings Editor header

All components share the Settings Editor header. In the header, you can view and change component information, enable or disable the component, and view component documentation (where applicable).

Figure 1. Settings Editor header

Settings Editor header contains the following:

Title - Displays the configuration component title.
Name - Displays the component instance name. This name is used in the generated code in constants and function identifiers. You can change it at any time.
Mode - Displays the required usage for the component instance and influences available settings. Use the dropdown menu to change the mode (where applicable).
Peripheral - Displays the name of the peripheral to be associated with the component instance. Use the dropdown menu to change it.
Enable/disable component instance switch - Use the switch to enable or disable selected component instance. Note that by disabling the instance, you don’t remove it from the tools configuration, but prevent its inclusion in the generated code.
Documentation button - Click the button to view configuration component-specific documentation in the Documentation view. Note that not all configuration components are documented, therefore not all setting headers contain the Documentation icon.
