Diagnostic Profiler Version 3.05Modifications: · The repair item pull-down list in the Specify Repair Items tool was ordered alphabetically to improve usability. · The Specify Repair Items tool was causing invalid repair item links when parts where added and deleted. This error was causing problems during run-time simulation. The errors where fixed so that all links are maintained properly and no data errors propagate into run-time. · Testability Analysis calculation performance was improved significantly. The speed of calculation is faster dependent upon the size of the model. For larger models the calculations may be as much as 16 times faster. A status pop-up screen was also added which shows the progress of the calculations. · The user interface for the Integrity Checker Utility was updated to include new “System Data” type checking. The previously available data integrity checks only included “Diagnostic Data” type checking. “Diagnostic Data” checks find errors in the relationships between the design information contained in the project and the test specification and repair item information contained in the candidate. “System Data” type checking was added. “System Data” checks find errors in physical structure of the data. · The Generate Diagnostic Knowledge Base tool was modified to trim trailing and leading spaces from test, measurement, and repair item names. Test and measurement names which included trailing or leading spaces where unavailable to the Maintenance Simulator tool because the association with their corresponding output files had been broken. The simulator was also modified to use the same trim function when building the output files. This modification provides a more robust capability for different types of test and measurement names inside the Diagnostic Profiler. Additions: · New automatic data integrity checking was added inside the Diagnostic Profiler. The Diagnostic Profiler is multi-processed software. If any one of the server processes terminates improperly the client process automatically detects that the server no longer exists and re-initializes it. Upon detecting the server termination, data integrity checking has been added which automatically searches for “System Data” type corruption. If corruption is found, the user is immediately prompted to exit the Profiler and use the Integrity Checker Utility. The Integrity Checker Utility can then be used to restore the data. This new feature should greatly improve data integrity since most “System Data” type corruption is caused when server processes terminate improperly. · New Create Design Wizard available under the “Import Design” tab. The new tool allows the user to create new projects manually by defining all design parts and pin locations. Update capability similar to the update capabilities for EDIF import and help will be integrated in future releases. |
