Introduction to the TTCN Browser
The TTCN Browser is the part of the TTCN Suite that presents TTCN document structures. When a new TTCN document is opened, place holders for the static parts of the document are already created. Then you can add and delete the dynamic parts.
The amount of information actually displayed in a Browser can be collapsed and expanded. It is also possible to display selected parts of the TTCN document in a sub Browser. You open a sub Browser from the main Browser or from another sub Browser.
The functionality of a menu choice is applied to all items or selections of items in the Browser. If an operation is invoked from the Organizer (see The Organizer), it is always applied to all items in the TTCN document.
Opening the Browser and a TTCN Document
You open the TTCN Browser by selecting a TTCN document already included in the Organizer followed by the menu choice Edit, or by double-clicking the TTCN document. You may also add a new TTCN document with Add New or Add Existing from the Edit menu, or start a Browser directly by selecting Editors > TTCN Browser from the Tools menu. See The Organizer for more information.
If you try to open a TTCN document that is already opened by any another user or in another TTCN Suite Browser, you will get a question informing that the file is opened by another user and ask to open it in read-only mode. In read-only mode you will not be able to save your changes (if any) in the same file, but free to save the TTCN document as another file. No other restrictions exist in read-only mode: you may browse, analyze, generate code, etc.
The question that the file is opened by another user is isuued because a read-lock file (with additional suffix '-read_lock') exists in the same directory as the document. This may also happen if the TTCN Suite or Windows has crashed. In this case just remove this file and try to open the TTCN document again.
Close the Browser and a TTCN Document
To close the Browser and all corresponded table editors, in the Browser File menu choose Close. The TTCN Suite will remain running, TTCN documents remains loaded and the license is not released in this case. The Close command means only that the Browser window is closed. To exit TTCN Suite Editor, go to the Browser File menu and choose Exit.
Exit the TTCN Suite Editor
To close all Browsers and table editors, you can in any Browser's File menu choose Exit. The TTCN Suite will then close all Browsers, release the license and finish. If any Browser contains any modified TTCN documents, you will be prompted to save your document.
