Downloads

Download the two vsix files and install them in your VS Code via Install from VSIX in the view title menu of your Extensions view.

Open a workspace or a folder that contains the files you want to work on.

Open a supported file such as a '.strl', '.lus', 'elkt', 'kgt', or 'sctx' file in your workspace. As a next step should open the diagram view via Open in Diagram the editor context menu (i.e. right click on the editor) or the editor title menu (file with cogs icon big bar on top with two small bars below on the top right of your active editor with a supported file type)A: Menu bar: Holds the main menu.

B: Left bar: The left bar usally holds the explorer widget and the search widget (only seen as an icon).

C: Left part of Main bar, the editor widget: In the left part of the main bar resides the editor widget. In The current model in the current editor can be compiled by entering Compile current model with... in the command palette (F1). Alternatively, this command can be accessed by clicking on the compile icon in the editor title menu (file with cogs on the top right of the editor widget, in the so called tab bar are some editor specific commands accessible. It is possible to compile or simulate the currently opened model via these buttons. These buttons will not directly invoke the compilation but redirect the user to the command palette.

D: Right part of main bar, the diagram widget: Shows the current model as diagram. Can also be used to show snapshots of a model to model transformation. During simulation the current state is highlighted in red and the last state and taken transition are highlighted in light blue. In the current diagram all "A" states are currently active. In the top right of the diagam widget is the tab bar of this widget. It includes commands to:

• Center the diagram
• Fit the diagram to the widget size
• Compile the shown mode
• Simulate the shown model

E: The right bar: The right bar currently holds the browser preview widget. It can be used to display a visualization of a simulated model. This view can also be opened in another browser tab. The right bar does usually also hold the outline widget, the output widget, and the diagram option widget.

F: The bottom bar: Holds the simulation widget and the compiler widget (in the background). The simulation widget shows the values of a simulated model in form of a table and allows the user to set inputs. Playing, pausing, stepping, and stopping a simulation is supported. On the top right of the simulation widget is the tab bar of this widget. It includes buttons to open the simulation visualization which is currently seen in the right bar.

G: Status bar: Shows the status of tool including:

• errors and warnings in workspace
• Status of compilation and simulation
• Current line number and column
• The end of line sequence (LF)
• Current indentation style (here Tab Size 2)
• Current diagram synthesis (SCChartsSynthesis), which can be changed via clicking it
• The language in the active editor (here SCCharts)

The blue color indicates that the tool has a stable connection to its language server. Yellow indicates a connection loss.

KEITH has some widgets by default, such as the problems-widget, the outline-widget, the output-widget, and the search-widget. All existing widgets are found via the View menu entry or via the command palette.

active editor).

As a result a quickpick menu opens that allows to select the desired compilation chain. The result of the selected compilation is shown the the diagram view. All different compilation snapshots can be seen in the KIELER Compiler tree-view in the KIELER view container.

The current model in the current editor can be simulated by entering Simulate current model with... in the command palette (F1). Alternatively, this command can be accessed by clicking on the simulation icon in the editor title menu (play button on the top right of the active editor).

As a result a quickpick menu opens that allows to select the desired simulation chain. After selecting a simulation chain the simulation is executed. All inputs and outputs can be seen in the KIELER simulation tree-view. Next to each variable the current value is displayed (at start the current value is not defined and is, therefore, not visible). By clicking on a variable, the history of their values open. One can change an input value by either clicking on their history or via the context menu (right-click) of the item. This opens a command palette dialog to change to value.

The simulation controls (step, pause, run) are accessible via the view title menu of the KIELER simulation view (see TODO)

All infos, warnings, and errors that occur during compilation or simulation are logged to the corresponding KIELER output channels
