The Diff Tool tool is a separate executable that shows the differences between two versions of a file stored in your revision control system (if your revision control system supports third-party comparison tools). You can use the Diff Tool tool to compare the following file formats:
For more information on these file formats, see Version Controlled MapleSim Model File Format and Version Controlled Library File Format.
The output from the Diff Tool tool is an .html file that opens automatically in your default browser (see the following figure).
The output displays the name and versions of the file below the Controls section.
Differences are shown after the file information and are color coded according to the type of change: addition (green), deletion (red), modification (orange).
For instances where a parameter value has changed, the value on the left is the setting for the first version, and the value on the right is the setting for the second (bottom) version.
