Automated TDD in TES 0.20.0 - hidden Timing diagrams

Hi Jakub,

The Auto TDD diagrams are know to work in TES v20. I have noticed that sometimes that I have to change the size for it to reload. Does that help at all? 

In these TDD diagrams, primary/secondary simply mean first/second. Also, assert/deassert means setting the signal high/low. For example, the first time you set the signal high in a frame is called the primary assert. Having primary and secondary signals allow the signal to be asserted/deasserted twice in a single frame at different times and for different lengths of time.

Hello, thank you for fast response, changing the size of the windows does not help me. I have never seen the Timing diagram, yet.

I have tried to change the compatibility settings according to this post  ADRV900x TES GUI not visible and showing strange sizes of display but it did not help either.

Thank you for the primary/secondary explanation, I was not sure about the motivation.

Hi Jakub,

I don't mean to change the size of the window. There is a dropdown menu to change the size of the diagram. If you change this dropdown to a different size, it can refresh the diagram.

Hi Conrad, 

unfortunately, changing options of the "Size" select box did not work for me either. I performed many changes of all parameters in both, Pin Activity and Hop Activity with no diagram shown.

Best regards,

Jakub

Hi Jakub,

Ok, that is unexpected behaviour.

Is your hardware connected or are you using demo-mode?

Best Regards,

Conrad

Hi Conrad,

I tried this for both - demo-mode and hardware connected - with the same results.

Note, Automated TDD with HW connected seems to work fine, the only problem are the diagrams.

Thank you,
Jakub

Dear Conrad, 

Same issue as it is described by Jakub.

Hi Jakub, Dominik,

Thanks for your patience. We haven't come across this before and I can't seem to replicate it. I've just asked one of our developers on this. See below their response:

• If you see WMF files, try to open one of them. Just double-click on the file, and it will show up in MS Paint or a similar application. What does it look like? If it looks like a timing diagram, then the diagrams are generating correctly, but not displaying in TES. Let me know, and I will try to investigate why this would happen.
• If you see Timmy files, but not WMF files, see if you can attach a few Timmy files to this ticket. I will review them to see if I can recreate the problem. At the same time, you can also navigate to the directory where you installed TES (this might be in your Program Files or your Desktop) and check inside the TES installation directory to see if there is a directory called "Tools." That Tools directory should in turn contain the following:

  • Qt5Core.dll
  • Qt5Gui.dll
  • Qt5Network.dll
  • Qt5PrintSupport.dll
  • Qt5Svg.dll
  • Qt5Widgets.dll
  • Qt5Xml.dll
  • Tcl85.dll
  • timmy.exe
    
    If any of these files is NOT present in "Tools", delete your entire installation of TES and re-install from a fresh download of the installer.
    
    
• If you do not see either Timmy or WMF files, let me know. Also, in general, it's a good idea to check the log file which is accessible from a Log File button at the top of your screen. The log file viewer window contains a button "Copy Path" which will easily allow you to attach the log file to this ticket.

Please take a look and see if you can share any more information with us.

Best Regards,

Conrad

Hi Conrad,

thank you for your response. For me, the following statement is true:

The TiDis directory fills up with Timmy files (*.tim) but does not contain any Windows Metafile Format files (*.wmf). 

I enclose 10 *.tim files in *.zip archive. Note, some of them are in No-Hardware mode, some of them are with Device-connected.

I checked content of Tools directory and all above mentioned files are present, see screenshot below. Note, I tried this also on my Windows 10 laptop and the result was the same.

If you want me to share a log file, please, let me know what scenario should it contain.

tim_files.zip

Edit: Few more *.tim files in my own scenario:

TiDis.zip

Thank you!

Jakub

Dear Conrad,

In my case, only *.tim-files are available but no *.wmf-files.

See attachment.

"Tools" contains all listet *.dll and .exe files.
