4.2 probe file question

[bob mappes]

I want to know how to set up a different probe file location for the different versions of PCDMIS.

It seems to me that 4.2 corrupts the file so that earlier versions cannot even do edits to the probes.

any help out there?

thanks

For 3.7MR3 it is.

Edit-Preferences-Set Search Path

Use the drop down to find the one for probe files.
Browse for the location you want.

I can't imagine why they would have changed it for 4.2 but this is Hexagon we are talking about.

What I do is copy the probe file and results and then rename them; as an example, Q53X40 I would rename Q53X40_42. This allows the programmer to maintain the integrity of known probes while "playing" with the newest virgin.

G'Day To All,

I am seeing that pcdemon "4.2" is mentioned. Is it now available?
I do not recall seeing it when I looked at the Wilcox website this morning.

Please advise.

Blessings,

this is not the problem

the problem is that the "search path" is set in the registry and ALL versions are looking at the same search path location. I don't want to have to make this change every time I open another version....I tried and it locks up my PC by doing this, have to reboot...etc...too slow



James has given a workaround solution...thanks James

I heard that it got approved for release by the steering committe last week. They seem to be building the final release. Official release should be imminent.

If you are using several versions of the sw on the same pc , I suggest to use different setting parameters for each version.

On my pc , I have exported 3.7x's settings to the desktop as name 37reg.dat and one clear copy for 4.2 42reg.dat and an ini file my lovely 3.2063 32.ini.

Before running the version , I import the correct parameters to save my day
