In group When current file is modified by another process can be set mode of reloading of
actually loaded (current) file. There are three choices:
Prompt before reloading file
Reload automatically
Ignore change scanning of current file
There are three situations when file modification is tested:
switching to the control program from another application
selecting the device operation Verify or Program
when repeat of last device operation is selected in dialog "Repeat?"
Load file format allows to set mode of file format recognition for loading files. When
automatic file format is selected, program analyses format of loading file and test file for each
of supported formats that are available in program. If file format matches one of supported
formats, the file is read to buffer in detected format.
Manual file format allows user to select explicitly wished file format from list of supported file
formats. File may be loaded no completely or incorrectly, if file format does not match to user
selected format.
Check box Show "Load recent project" dialog on program start sets the dialog to appear
on application PG4UW start. Dialog Load recent project contains list of recent projects
(project history). User can quickly select and load any of the project from list, or close the
dialog without loading of project file.
File extensions
File extensions page allows you to set file masks.
File format masks is used for setting file-name masks to use as a filter for file listing in File /
Save and File / Load file window for all file formats. Mask must contain one of wildcards (*, ?)
at least and must be applied correctly by syntax.
Note: More masks can be specified for each file format. Semicolon is used as delimiter for
extensions.
Example:
Motorola: *.MOT;*.S19
Defines two file masks *.MOT and *.S19 - for Motorola file format.
Project file default extension is used for setting project files-extension used as default
extension in File / Load project and File / Save project dialogs.
Buffer
This page allows you to select Erase buffer before selecting of new device action. This
can be useful for some kind of special devices, which require exact type of data at certain
addresses, and the data are not part of data file loaded to buffer for this device.
Buffer can be erased (filled) with default "blank" value for selected device or with custom-
defined value. This can be controlled by selection group box Erase value and Custom erase
value edit field.
Notes: We do not recommend to use this function for large devices (more than 8 MB)
because it can consume more time to make buffer erase. The setting is saved to PG4UW
configuration file. It is not saved to project file.
