PlugIns augment the GoLogic software's capabilities. The software can be customized for specific applications using PlugIns. A PlugIn is a dynamic link library (DLL) which adheres to the programming interface for the GoLogic software. This programming interface is described in the PlugIn Developerment Kit (PDK) freely available on the NCI web site. PlugIns are installed, removed, and activated with the PlugIn Manager window. Once activated, PlugIns are data windows which behave like the WaveForm and Numeric windows. |

The DLL files in the "Program Files\GoLogic\Plugins"
folder which adhere to the GoLogic programming interface are displayed in
the Installed PlugIns list on the left side of the window. After creating a
new PlugIn, it can be added to the installed list in two ways...
PlugIns can be moved to the active list by
selecting an PlugIn in the installed list and clicking on the "Activate
PlugIn" button... |

Some PlugIns do not provide configuration
options. In this case, clicking on the setup button just displays a warning
message. However, most PlugIns provide a setup dialog box. If a PlugIn provides configuration options, these must be defined correctly or the PlugIn will not work. Since each PlugIn's configuration options are unique, they are not described here. Use the "Help > PlugIn help..." menu command to learn about a specific PlugIn's configuration options. |

PlugIn Manager is hidden and the active PlugIns
are displayed. Each PlugIn's display depends on its purpose, but text-based PlugIns
all look similar
to the I2C Interpreter PlugIn... |
||
|
|
||
|
If the PlugIn supports markers, the PlugIn's toolbar area
contains the The
PlugIn's toolbar area All text PlugIns support the main text area. The content of this area depends on the PlugIn's purpose.
|
||
| Multiple copies | ||
|
All GoLogic PlugIns can be activated more than
once. Each PlugIn copy
has separate configuration from the other copies and displays its output in
a separate window. Activating several copies of a PlugIn allows you to view the same data in two windows with different display options. For example, the I2C, SPI, and RS232 Interpreter PlugIns can analyze serial buses captured on different channels. Several buses can be captured and analyzed in a single trace file. |
