The Launch ACS/TDK dialog allows you to define a Generation Settings Scheme. How?

To open the Launch ACS/TDK dialog. In the drop-down-list on the ACS/TDK Control tab, select New Scheme or an existing Generation Settings Scheme, and then click the

Edit ACS Scheme button:

• If you select New Scheme, the Launch ACS/TDK dialog allows you to define a new Generation Settings Scheme.

• If you select an existing Generation Settings Scheme, the Launch ACS/TDK dialog allows you to change the definition of that Generation Settings Scheme.

Standard Tab

Option

Use

Model

Shows the Model that relates to the Generation Settings Scheme.

Model Root Object

Specifies the root object in the model for code generation.

The root object is the Model or Package that was selected in Modeler when the Generation Settings Scheme was first created.

Settings File

Shows the name of the selected Generation Settings Scheme file.

Select a Generation Settings Scheme through the associated

button.

Create a new Generation Settings Scheme through the associated

button.

Generator Dll

Shows the name of the selected Code Generator DLL.

Select a Code Generator DLL through the associated

button.

The M and 4G buttons are used only by the TDK.

Generator Dll Folder

Shows the path of the selected Code Generator DLL.

Target Directory

Shows the path of the target folder for generation.

Select a target folder through the associated

button.

Launch Options

Specifies configuration parameters that are used when ACS is started.

For more information about configuration parameters, see Overview of configuration parameters (ACS).

Comment

Specifies a comment for the Generation Settings Scheme.

On the ACS/TDK Control tab, the comment is shown as a ToolTip when the mouse pointer is hovered over the Generation Settings Scheme in the drop-down-list.

Advanced Tab

The options available on the Advanced tab are populated only after you have selected a Code Generator DLL.

The options available on the Advanced tab depend on the code language that is being generated – the Advanced tab will include some of the following options.

Option	Use
File Extensions	Specifies the file extensions used for generated code files.
Use UNIX Style Include Path Separators	Specifies that paths in the generated code use forward slashes instead of back slashes.
Use Spaces Instead of Tabs	Specifies that spaces are used to indent code, rather than tabs.
Spaces Per Tab	When spaces are being used to indent code, specifies how many spaces are used for each tab.
LF Instead of CRLF	Specifies that line feeds without carriage returns are generated in the code files, which you should use if generating code files for use in a UNIX environment.
Line Length	Specifies the maximum line length to use in code files. When set to 0, no maximum length is specified.
Inline Short Operations	Specifies that short operations are generated inline (C and C++ only).
Simulation Port	Specifies the simulation port value for the model (simulation Code Generator DLLs only).
Simulation IP	Specifies the IP address value for the model (simulation Code Generator DLLs only).
Default Record Name	Specifies the default name when generating records (Ada only).

Simulation Tab

The Simulation tab appears only when using a C, C++ or Java animation Code Generator DLL to generate an application.

Option	Use
Select Harness Class	Specifies the initial state machine Class.
Select Classes to Stub	Specifies Classes to generate as stubs. Select Classes to generate as stubs through the associated button. Remove a Class from the Classes to Stub list through the associated button.
