Lesson 1.0: Configure the Sample PDS RAM on the host
The extension points used in this sample ensures that the input is in the permitted format, ensures that the input will not cause errors, and modifies the view of the custom actions pertaining to a particular RAM. For this sample, you use the PDS RAM. However, because there are no custom actions that are already integrated into the Sample PDS RAM, you have to configure the RAM with a new custom action and its four parameters.
Tip: The lessons pertaining to modifying the
Sample PDS RAM might require special permissions on your host system
to access and modify some of the files.
Learning objectives
Though this is not a focal point of the exercise, you should be able to configure a RAM to add custom actions and parameters.Time required
This portion of lessons should take approximately 30 minutes to complete.Prerequisites
A basic understanding of the content in the CARMA Developers Guide is recommended.- Lesson 1.1: Customize the PDS RAM by adding a custom action and parameters to the model
This lesson will briefly step you through adding the HowTo custom action and its four parameters:value,string1,string2, andoption, to the PDS RAM. - Lesson 1.2: Add the performAction function to the PDS RAM to correspond with the custom HowTo action
In the last lesson, you configured the Sample PDS RAM with a HowTo custom action and its four parameters. In this lesson, you create or modify the function on the host that handles the HowTo action. - Lesson 1.3: Recompile the PDS RAM and verify the HowTo custom action
This lesson guides you through the final steps in adding the custom action and parameters to the Sample PDS RAM.
