Signal Tap General Comment / Question

It is equally worth noting that there is a standalone version that you can download together with programmer for free too. It is very useful to be installed on the lab computer. I believe it doesn't require any license. Of course, it is useless if you cannot compile a project with SignalTap enabled;)

I actually like to use this standalone version to run acquisition. It enables the lock mode automatically to prevent any accidental change requiring compilation. In addition, the message window shows up at the bottom. Sometimes, there are some important messages worth my attention. In Quartus, those messages show up in the system message tab. With SignalTap window detached nowadays, it is completely hidden. I don't notice any message unless I seek it out. I wish it can be changed one day.
