The latest version of Model RealTime is now 12.1.4. Let's look at some of the new features in this release.
The default file format for traces captured from a running realtime application is now a new .art-trace format. It uses a small domain specific tracing language which has been designed to let LLMs "understand" it. The format contains more detailed runtime information than the .ms trace format and is a great help when troubleshooting problems in a running application. .art-trace files can be opened in Code RealTime to benefit from features such as syntax coloring and navigation. It's also possible to visualize such a trace file as a sequence diagram. Read more about this feature in the documentation.
Sometimes a capsule state machine may need to wait in a certain state until several events have been received, before transitioning to another state. The TargetRTS now provides a utility RTMultiReceive which makes it easier to implement this pattern. Read more about this feature in the documentation.
A new button in the Code View toolbar lets you pin the Code View to always show code for a specific element, even if the selected element is changed. This can for example be useful if you want to navigate to a function that is called from the code snippet shown in the Code View, but still keep that code snippet open.
When you have modified a property in the C++ General and C++ Target RTS property pages it's shown with bold font, and the property page is prefixed with the > character to make it easy to see what has been modified. You can now restore such a modified property to its default value by means of a new context menu command Restore to Default. If you want to restore all modified properties for the property page use the button Apply Defaults.
