Project navigator
The project navigator consists of project folders and the script files (.tsp) created for each project.
Each project folder can have one or more script files.
To view the script files in a project folder, click the plus (+) symbol next to the project folder. To hide
the folder contents, click the minus (
) symbol next to the project folder.
You can download a TSP project to the instrument and run it, or you can run it from the TSB
interface.
Script editor
The script editor is where you write, modify, and debug scripts.
To open and display a script file, double-click the file name in the project navigator. You can have
multiple script files open in the script editor at the same time. Each open script file is displayed on a
separate tab.
To display another script file that is already open, click the tab that contains the script in the script
editor area.
Outline view
The outline view allows you to navigate through the structure of the active script in the script editor.
Double-clicking a variable name or icon causes the first instance of the variable in the active script to
be highlighted.
This view shows:
•
Names of local and global variables
•
Functions referenced by the active script in the script editor
•
Parameters
•
Loop control variables
•
Table variables
•
Simple assignments to table fields
Programming interaction
This part of the workspace is where you interact with the scripts that you are building in Test Script
Builder (TSB). The actual contents of the programming interaction area of the workspace can vary.
You can send commands from the Instrument Console command line, retrieve data, view variables
and errors, and view and set breakpoints when using the debug feature.
