Explanation of the Configuration Elements

The Autosar Interface Editor requires minimal configuration.


<AutosarSystemSignalsGeneratorConfigs> is the top tag which can include one or more
<AutosarSystemSignalsGeneratorConfig>.


<AutosarSystemSignalsGeneratorConfig> is the top tag of each configuration and must have an id attribute. The id attribute identifies the specific configuration, and should be a unique string value when multiple configurations exist.


Note: There is no need to define more than one <AutosarSystemSignalsGeneratorConfig> even though it is possible.


<ViewSettings> enables you to set a custom view label, hover-tip, icon, etc. See How to Configure Item View Menu Button Settings.
