Accessory tools
Accessory tools, which are mainly used in the system engineering, are found on the
Miscellaneous page in the Tool Manager. The SCIL Program Editor, Test Dialog,
DB <--> Text Tool and Search Tool are examples of accessory tools.
The SCIL Program Editor is an accessory tool, which is a text editor that is
especially developed for editing SCIL programs. It can be opened from several other
tools when SCIL programs should be edited. You can, of course, open the editor
from the Tool Manager when you want to create and edit a text file. The SCIL
Program Editor includes a number of useful features. For example, it enables
cutting, copying and pasting program lines as well as searching and replacing text.
A program can be copied to and from an ASCII file.
The Test Dialog is used to execute SCIL command lines to find out values for
variables of different data types. You can also save the Test Dialog outlook at exit,
create some procedures and start them.
