The Editor-Debugger utility is used to create, debug and edit scripts in Axxon PSIM.

The Editor-Debugger dialog window is shown in the figure below.

The Editor-Debugger utility contains the embedded text editor and the debugging window.

To help with writing correct scripts, the text editor automatically highlights objects, methods and properties that are a part of the object model of the JScript language. In addition, the code blocks can be collapsed or expanded with - or + buttons to the left of the Script text field.

Note

When switching between scripts, script messages or other objects in the Editor-Debugger utility tree, the collapsing settings are reset, it means, all blocks in the script become expanded.

The position of the cursor in each script is stored within one Axxon PSIM session (the cursor position is reset at restart). For example, if you place the cursor at the end of //Line 2 in Script 1, then switch to Script 2 and perform any action in it, the cursor will be still at the end of //Line 2 when you return to Script 1.

The debugging window of the Editor-Debugger utility allows viewing the information about all events registered by the system. You can filter the events that are displayed in the debugging window. A separate debugging window is created for each Script system object, which allows you to debug each script individually using the filters.

To debug the script, it is possible to test run using a user-defined test event generated by the utility and not registered in the system. To display or edit this event, select Debug and edit Summary Information, and then go to the Trial event tab on the panel that opens at the bottom of the window. For details, see Creating and using test events.

You can save the created script in the Script system object or in a text file on the hard drive.
