Macros defined from property

Every property defines the unique symbol in the component. The symbol is the name of the macro defined for the component driver in the Processor Expert.

The symbol should not begin with the character underscore '_'. The value of the macro is value of the property set in Processor Expert Component Inspector.

Some properties have detailed information defined as macros. The name of the macro is completed from the name of the property (feature Symbol) and the suffix. The suffix depends on the type of the property. The following properties have defined the detailed information:

• List of items
  • NumItems - the number of the items in list
  • MaxItem - the maximal index of the item (that is, NumItems-1)
• Date
  • Day - the day of the date stored in property (ranges from 1 to 31)
  • Month - the month of the date stored in property (ranges from 1 to 12)
  • MonthLong - the name of the month (language depends on the current country which is set in windows)
  • MonthShort - the name of the month (language depends on the current country which is set in windows) - short version
  • Year - the year of the date stored in property (format is XXXX)
  • DayOfWeek - the day in the week (ranges from 0-monday to 6-sunday)
  • DayOfWeekLong - the name of the day (language depends on the current country which is set in windows)
  • DayOfWeekShort - the name of the day (language depends on the current country which is set in windows) - short version
• Time
  • Hour - the hour of the time stored in property
  • Min - the minute of the time stored in property
  • Sec - the second of the time stored in property
• String list

  Macro without suffix - the list of lines of the text. If user does not enter any text, the macro is not defined.

  • Len - list of corresponding lengths of lines in the string-list (number of characters on each line)
  • Lines - the number of the lines in the string-list
  • List - list of lines; every line is defined as a list of characters (this macro is available if the feature DefineList is set to value True)
• External file
  • FileName - only the name of the file (without the path)
  • ShortPath - the whole name of the file (with the path) for DOS applications
  • Value - binary values in a file (depends on the settings of the feature FileDefine)
  • ValueList - binary values in a file (depends on the settings of the feature FileDefine)
• External bitmap file
  • Width - width of the picture
  • Height - height of the picture
  • Size - the size of the picture (the number of the occupied bytes in a memory)
• Directory
  • (one character underscore) - the directory ends with '\'
  • (two characters underscore) - the directory doesn't end with '\'
• Address in CPU address space
  • External - yes if any address from selected address range is inside external memory, otherwise no
  • Internal - yes if any address from selected address range is inside internal memory, otherwise no
  • RAM - yes if any address from selected address range is inside RAM, otherwise no
  • ROM - yes if any address from selected address range is inside ROM, otherwise no
  • FLASH - yes if any address from selected address range is inside FLASH, otherwise no
  • EEPROM - yes if any address from selected address range is inside EEPROM, otherwise no
