Diamond Buttons

Top  Previous  Next

There are five Diamond-specific buttons towards the top of the workbench.

 

Run

This button runs the application built for the active project. The IDE asks if it should rebuild your application if it finds there have been changes since the last build.

 

Terminate the running program

You can click this button to stop a running application. It gives the appearance of stopping the application, but all that really happens is that the IDE no longer responds to input and output requests from the target hardware. If you really want to kill the running application, you should use the Reset button, Note that this does not actually stop the processors from running; it simply stops the server from listening to them. To stop the actual processors, you should issue a reset by clicking the reset button, IDE_Reset. The stop button also appears in the Console area.

 

Import a 3L Diamond project

Use this button to make a copy of an existing project in a different workspace and bring it into the current workspace. You can find more information under Importing a project.

 

Carrier board switch matrix

Some carrier boards include switches that can be set to control connections between processors without needing to change external wires. This button has no effect on Lyrtech systems.

 

Reset

The button resets your selected hardware. Note that Run also resets the hardware.
