2.4 Defining Variable Name Display
As variable names can be very long, and thus hard to read, MDA V8.5 allows to
shorten them based on user-definable rules. A rule searches the variable name
for a user-defined separator or character sequence and removes either the
name part in front or behind it. Additionally, the application of the rules can be
restricted to a group of variables. The combination of the rules and the group of
variables is called "rule set". All defined rule sets are listed in the block Rule
Sequence. The individual rule sets are applied subsequently in the listed order. If
the display name of a variable is modified by a rule set, the variable is excluded
from all following rule sets. This means that per variable only one rule set will be
used.
Note
Per signal only one rule set is applied.
The rule set affects the Display Name only, but not the Name, Display Iden-
tifier, or Symbol Link as shown in the Variable Explorer or Information Window.
