CODEGRIP SUITE

4.1 Menu section

4.3 Shortcuts bar

4.2 Menu item section

As already mentioned, all 

Menu buttons

 are located in the 

Menu section 

(1)

 

of the CODEGRIP Suite GUI. By clicking a 

Menu button

, one or more 

Menu 

items

 are unfolded. 

Menu items

 are grouped by the type of the function 

they are related to. For example, clicking the CODEGRIP 

Menu button

 will 

unfold 

Scanning

Configuration

, and 

License Menu items

. All these 

Menu 

items

 are related to configuring and working with CODEGRIP devices, and 

therefore they are grouped under the CODEGRIP Menu button. 

The 

Shortcuts  bar

 

(3)

 

is  another  persistent  section  of  the  CODEGRIP 

Suite GUI, containing controls for the most commonly used commands. It 
appears on the top of the 

Menu item section

, just below the title bar. The 

only 

Menu item

 that does not include the Shortcuts bar is the 

Programming 

Menu item

 since all the shortcut commands are already included there. 

Icons on the 

Shortcuts bar

 are used to speed up the workflow, providing 

easy access to a set of commands from within any 

Menu item

 of CODEGRIP 

Suite.  This  is  basically  a  set  of  commands  otherwise  found  under  the 

Programming  Menu  item

,  including  the  most  commonly  accessed 

CODEGRIP commands: 

WRITE

 command

DETECT

 command

 and 

VERIFY

 

command

, along with the interface used to select .hex or .bin file. 

More  detailed  description  about  the  Shortcut  bar  commands  find  in  the 
Chapter 5.

 

When  a 

Menu  item

  is  clicked,  the 

Menu  item  section

 

(2)

 

will  display  all 

the  GUI  elements  available  for  that  specific 

Menu  item

.  For  example, 

if  the 

Programming  Menu  item

  is  clicked,  the 

Menu  item  section

  of  the 

GUI  will  show  some  basic  information  about  the  target  and  controls  for 
MCU programming tasks. Each 

Menu item 

will display its own set of GUI 

elements in the 

Menu item section

 of the GUI interface when clicked.
