Project Navigator pane
The window pane on the left side is where the Project Navigator resides. The navigator consists of
created project folders and the script files (.tsp) created for each project. Each project folder can
have one or more script files.
Script Development pane
The script chunk is written in the upper window pane. It is in this area that scripts are written and/or
modified. Notice that there is a tab available for each opened script file. A script project is then
downloaded to the Series 2600 and run.
Series 2600/Script Interaction pane
A number of tabs in the lower window pane provide additional interaction between the Test Script
Builder, the Series 2600 and the opened script (the tabs displayed will depend on those selected in
the menu).
Key tabs include:
Instrument Console – The Instrument Console is used to send commands to the connected
Series 2600. Retrieved data (e.g., readings) from commands and scripts appear in the console.
Problems – When a script is saved, error checking is performed. If a script error is detected, an
"X" will appear in the script at or near the corrupt line of code. The Problems tab in the lower
window pane will open automatically and provide a description of the error.
Tasks – When writing a script, a double dash (--) is used to designate that the text that follows is a
comment and not script code. When using the "--TODO" comment in a script, it will also appear in
the Tasks tab, where additional information can be added.
Command Help – Provides online help to the Instrument Command Library (ICL).
Language Help – Provides online help to the TSL programming language.
