TyphoonTest IDE Special value Picker

This section describes the special value picker available in the TyphoonTest IDE

Real-time only: This document is valid only for real-time/VHIL simulation.

The special value picker dialog is an utility that makes it easier to inspect needed signal information for automated tests and provides an interface to select files/diretories and other useful data.

Note: The special value picker can be accessed through TyphoonTest IDE API Wizard or directly at the editor by right-clicking and selecting the "pick special value" option.

The Special value Picker has the following main features:

Model selection: The user can select a compiled .cpd file (or a .tse file to be compiled) in order to have the model inspected for signal names and available sources and other components.
Model Controls: Shows the available components in the selected model.
Main picker window: Allows the user to select a given signal/scada input/machine/model info or to choose the file/directory.
File controls: Provides a interface for users to select a directory or file and add its path to the test code.
