First Config

Specifies the details of first configuration.

Library

Provides a longer description for your bookmark. This text appears in the Description column of the Bookmarks Manager window.

Cell

Adds the bookmark to the Bookmarks toolbar.

View

Bookmarks all the open tabs in your session window as a composite bookmark.

Save traversal results to the specified file

Specifies an output file in which traversal results are saved. If you do not select this option, the traversal files are saved in the default traversal output directory named configTraversals. The traversal files are saved with the following naming convention:

<lib>.<cell>.<view>

For example, tdmsDemoLib.ccadc.config

where, tdmsDemoLib is a library, ccadc is a cell, and config is a view.

Output file

Browses and selects the output file in which you want to save the results. If the output file already exists, a warning message appears to confirm overwriting the file.

Use existing traversal file as an input

Performs the traversal for the configuration and want to provide an existing traversal file as an input in the current comparison. When you select this option, all the above described options are disabled.

Input file

Browses and selects the existing traversal file to be used for the comparison. You can directly provide the path to the output file in this field that is to be used as an input file in the comparison.

If you have already opened a configuration, the configuration information is populated automatically in the First Config section.

Second Config

Specifies the details of second configuration.

Library

Provides a longer description for your bookmark. This text appears in the Description column of the Bookmarks Manager window.

Cell

Adds the bookmark to the Bookmarks toolbar.

View

Bookmarks all the open tabs in your session window as a composite bookmark.

Save traversal results to the specified file

Specifies an output file in which traversal results are saved. If you do not select this option, the traversal files are saved in the default traversal output directory named configTraversals. The traversal files are saved with the following naming convention:

<lib>.<cell>.<view>

For example, tdmsDemoLib.ccadc.config

where, tdmsDemoLib is a library, ccadc is a cell, and config is a view.

Common Options

Specifies the common options for both configurations.

Space Indentation

Specifies the number of spaces to be used for indentation. This help improve the readability of the output files.
Default value: 2
Value range: 1 to 8

Expand Subconfigs

Traverses HED through the sub-configurations found in the configuration. This field is not selected by default.

Full traversal

Performs a full traversal, which means when a cell is instantiated several times, each instance of this cell is fully traversed and a tree view for each instance of this cell is written out to an output file. If you do not select this option, only the first visited instance of this cell is fully traversed. This field is selected by default.

Start diff tool

Specifies a tool that you want to use to compare the traversal results. By default, the tkdiff tool is used for comparison.

Output directory

Browses and selects an output directory in which the traversal results are saved. If you do not specify anything, the configTraversal directory, which is present in the directory from where you launch HED, is used to save the traversal files.

MaskLayout stop limit (MB)

Specifies the limit value in MB for the maskLayout views.
