Interface Options

This controls general user-interface settings.

Application Layout

N.B. These settings affect all XJTAG applications.

Remember application layout settings

When this option is selected, XJInvestigator will open with its dockable windows in the same state in which it was previously closed.

Always use default settings

When this option is selected, XJInvestigator will always open with each screen in a default state.

Reset Window Layout

Click to restore the application's dockable windows back to their default positions.

Show full file path in application title bars

When set, the full path to the currently open XJPack file will be displayed in the application's title bar. When it is not set, only the pack file name is displayed.

Combine menus and tool bar on a single line

When set, the main tool bar in XJInvestigator will be displayed alongside the application's menus. When unset, the toolbar will appear underneath.

Prompts

Some users are happy to be prompted to confirm that they want to perform an action while others find this annoying. XJInvestigator provides options to switch off different prompts.

• Prompt before saving user database changes - If the user makes changes to a users privileges in the User Management section then XJInvestigator can prompt to confirm that the changes will be saved into the users database.

Fault Dictionary

• Prompt to enable "Continue on Test Failure" after adding or editing a fault in the Fault Dictionary - As most faults involve the failure of one test or another, if the "Continue on Test Failure" option is not enabled the faults are unlikely to be registered. XJInvestigator can prompt to suggest that this option be enabled whenever a fault is added and this option is disabled.
• Prompt to set test function to run when assigning it to a fault in the Fault Dictionary - If the user adds a fault to the Fault Dictionary which is not set to run by default, XJInvestigator can prompt to ask whether the test should be added to the default test list.

Log File Viewer

• Prompt to close any log files or test runs just removed from the file list - If the user removes a file which is currently open in the Log File Viewer, XJInvestigator can prompt to ask whether to close the file.
• Warn that opening a log file containing many runs could be slow. - If the user opens a log file containing many test runs, XJInvestigator can warn them it may take a while to load.

Pin Mapping

• Prompt before configuring the XJLink2 to apply power via the USB - The XJLink2 is able to supply power to a board, but will prompt the user first before doing so.
• Warn when a change to a pin mapping would cause additional changes to the JTAG Chain configuration - When a new pin mapping is selected, either by loading an existing file or selecting a preset, changes may be made to Test Reset Sequences and the Advanced JTAG Chain configuration. XJInvestigator can warn the user before this happens.

Projects

• Prompt before saving project settings - If the user modifies any aspect of the project configuration in the Project Management section then XJInvestigator can prompt to confirm that the changes will be saved to the XJPack file.
• Prompt to close Layout Viewers when saving a project - Prompt to warn that all Layout Viewer windows must be closed before changes can be saved to the XJPack file.
• Prompt to update project frequencies with result of Get Max TCK - XJInvestigator can prompt to update the project or subchain frequencies to use the results of Get Max TCK, as long as the frequencies found do not exceed the TCK frequencies listed in the project's BSDL files.

Test List

• Prompt to enable "Continue on Test Failure" when saving a project with Runner test conditions - Some conditions may require a test to fail. If the "Continue on Test Failure" option is not enabled the tests will stop at the failure and never evaluate such a condition. XJInvestigator can prompt to suggest that this option be enabled whenever a condition is added and this option is disabled.
