The Tornado browser is a graphical tool that regularly fetches and displays information
about the target to which it is connected. When started, it connects itself to the specified
target server (see tgtsvr).
The browser can be started from the launcher (see launch).
The menu bar contains three menu buttons. The File button provides access to the Quit
item, which terminates the browser. The About button provides access to the Tornado
item, which launches an information window about the current version of the Tornado
development environment. The Help button provides access to two menu items: On
Browser and Manuals. Both of these items launch the windman tool. The first item
displays the browser manual pages, while the second item displays the home page for the
Tornado Online Manuals.
The button bar contains five buttons:
Immediate-update button (!)
Periodic-update button (clock)
The browser can be updated in two modes. The first is the per-request mode: the
browser updates its windows each time the immediate-update button is pressed. The
second is the intervals mode and is selected when the periodic-update button is
pressed. Use the parameter-adjustment button (described below) to specify the
update interval. Note that a second click on this button will stop the automatic
update. These actions affect all the windows associated to the browser.
Stack-check button (stacked plates)
More information about the target activity is available via the stack-check button and
the spy panel. Press the stack-check button to get the spy panel. This panel
summarizes the current and maximum stack usage for each task currently running.
Spy button (chart)
Pressing the spy button starts the spy facility on the target. Results of the survey are
regularly sent to a dedicated window that shows the CPU usage per task. Use the
parameter-adjustment button (described below) to configure the spy facility. Note
that the spy report is stopped if the spy button is pressed again.
Parameter-adjustment button (tools)
The browser configuration panel is called when the parameter-adjustment button is
pressed. This configuration panel lets you choose between various modes: the symbol
