Use File suffix on symbol names
When enabled download file name is added to the symbol. This is recommended when multiple download files are used and the same symbol name is used in more than one download file - this way each instance is uniquely identified.
The filter offers a quick and efficient way to find the desired symbol. Enter keywords separated by space and symbols containing all of the keywords (in any order) will be displayed.
Select to have symbols sorted by address or name. Hex check box is available when browsing constants, where it toggles between decimal and hexadecimal value display.
