Messages View Task Menus
In the Messages view, clicking on icons located just left of the main display area opens convenient menus for performing common tasks. The menu selections differ depending upon which object is clicked.
Message Task Menu
The message task menu selections are straightforward.
Filter Include/Exclude - opens a sub-menu with a list of all Custom Filters. Just select one of the custom filters and that message is immediately added to the Include or Exclude list for that filter.
Clear Stats - is similar to the function block Clear Stats command on the message, except it works on all message types.
Edit - opens the message definition in the corresponding Messages Editor table. This can be a big time saver compared to locating a message definition by searching through large tables.
Add to Rx/Tx Messages - adds the message to the corresponding table in the Messages Editor. Another big time saver versus the user typing the information (and no chance of accidental typos).
Copy Data Bytes/RTC - acquires the selected messages data bytes or RTC clock time and adds it to the Windows clip board.
Quick Transmit - takes the selected message and sends it out. The same ID and data bytes that were received are sent out.
Signal Task Menu
Plot Signal - opens the Signal Plot view with the signal added to the y-axis.
Monitor Signal - opens the Signal List view with the signal added in the list.
Clear Stats - clears all signal properties (see Expression Builder) for the selected signal.
Edit - opens the signal definition in the Messages Editor. This can be a big time saver compared to locating a specific signal definition by searching through large tables.
