Grouping of parameters

All parameters are shown on PC in groups. These are defined on device with the Group structure. To create a new group, a global const variable with the datatype Group is defined. Normally this is done in file PARA_Main.c to have a central place for all parameter-groups.

• The GroupID identifiers must be unique and are defined in the file "PARA_ID_Device.h".
• The ParentGroupID refers to the base group. If the new group should be placed in the root use 0 as ParentGroupId.
• The group name is shown in the PC-Tool.

Example with three groups:

static const Group G_Sys            = { GROUP_ID_System,            0,                          "System"};
static const Group G_Hwid           = { GROUP_ID_HWID,              GROUP_ID_System,            "Hardware Information"};
static const Group G_Fwid           = { GROUP_ID_FWID,              GROUP_ID_System,            "Firmware Information"};

The groups must be added to the global const variable GruppenListe. This is done on initialization of this variable in the file PARA_Main.c.

const Group* GruppenListe[] = 
{
    &G_Sys,
    &G_Hwid,
    &G_Fwid,
}
