3 Tutorial: The Editors and the Analyzer
The SDL Suite products are used for designing and specifying systems, in particular real-time systems. The SDL Suite supports the Specification and Description Language (SDL) as recommended by ITU (the Z.100 recommendation). The SDL Suite also supports the definition of Message Sequence Charts (MSCs), as well as parts of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation. For full support of the UML language you should use IBM Rational Tau/Developer.
This tutorial assumes that you are already familiar with SDL and have some brief notions about Message Sequence Charts.
We will demonstrate, by using a simple SDL system as example, the basic editing and analysis functionality that is available. You will practice various "hands-on" exercises that will get you more familiar with the SDL Editor and the MSC Editor, as well as the SDL Analyzer.
In order to learn how to use these tools, read through this entire chapter. As you read, you should perform the exercises on your computer system as they are described.
