Unit.Def Files#

Unit.Def files are XML-based configuration files that define project options. They replace the legacy Multi-Application and Customer Base structure. There can be one Unit.Def file per folder and it is applied toprojects opened in that folder. The absence of a Unit.Def file will result in System Monitor resortingto default options for any projects located in the folder.

Configuration#

  • One Unit.Def file per folder.
  • Applied to all projects in that folder.
  • Managed via File > Manage Unit.Def Files… (only when no project is loaded).

Applications#

Applications can be added manually or auto-configured by scanning PGV files in subfolders.

  • Each application requires an ASAP definition name and default folder.
  • Applications can be enabled/disabled or deleted.
  • One application can be set as the master.

Options#

  • Define default locations for project files.
  • Override comms path settings.
  • Specify a Prime Parameter Override (.ppo) file.

Saving#

Changes are saved when selecting a new Unit.Def file or exiting the dialog.

Opening Projects#

Three methods:

  1. File > Open… Ctrl+O: Opens from the most recent Unit.Def folder.
  2. File > Open… >: Browse any folder.
  3. Recent Projects list: Quick access to last 10 projects.

System Monitor looks for a matching Unit.Def file in the selected folder.
