CHAPTER1 Basic Functions
1.10 Storing External Tools
This section describes the SOFTUNE Workbench function to set an external tool.
■ External Tools
A non-standard tool not attached to SOFTUNE Workbench can be used by setting it as an external tool and
by calling it from SOFTUNE Workbench. Use this function to coordinate with a source file version
management tool.
If a tool set as an external tool is designed to output the execution result to the standard output and the
standard error output through the console application, the result can be specified to the SOFTUNE
Workbench Output window. In addition, the allow description of additional parameters each time the tool
is activated.
To set an external tool, use the [Setup] - [Tool] command.
To select the title of a set tool, use the [Setup] - [Tool execution] command.
■ Setting Options
When activating an external tool from SOFTUNE Workbench, options must be added immediately after the
tool name. Specify the file names, and unique options, etc.
SOFTUNE Workbench has a set of special parameters for specifying any file name and unique tool
options.
If any characters described other than these parameters, such characters are passed as it is to the external
tool.
For details about the parameters, refer to Section "1.11 Macro Descriptions Usable in Manager".
Note:
When checking [Use the Output window], note the following:
1. Once a tool is activated, neither other tools nor the compiler/assembler can be activated until the
tool is terminated.
2. The Output window must not be used with a tool using a wait state for user input while the tool is
executing. The user can not perform input while the Output window is in use, so the tool cannot
be terminated. To forcibly terminate the tool, select the tool on the Task bar and input Control - C,
or Control - Z.
