6.2.1 Opening Browser
159
Browser is located in the system directory (canbr32.exe) and can be started as a
stand-alone application like any other Windows program. However, it is recommended
that you always start Browser from CANoe, since a number of important parameters
for the program start (database name, compiler options, hardware parameters,
CAPL-DLLs, etc.) must be passed.
When you start Browser by double clicking a CAPL node in the measurement setup
or in CANoe's simulation setup, the file PARBROW.INI with all start parameters is
automatically generated and made available to Browser. Therefore, always start
Browser from CANoe, and furthermore make sure that the file PARBROW.INI is
never given write protection, or else it might be impossible to pass important start
parameters properly the next time Browser is started.
Note: A CAPL program file can be dragged from the File Manager on a CAPL
Browser that has already been started (drag-and-drop). The file is then
displayed in a new window.
6.2.2 Browser Window
A Browser window is subdivided into up to four sub-windows, so-called "Panes".
At the upper left is the Browser tree, which contains the CAN event types as dropdown
nodes. These nodes each contain procedures that can be assigned to the CAN
event types. The upper part of the text editor to the right of the Browser tree shows
the global variables for the CAPL program; the lower part shows the procedure text
for the procedure selected in the Procedures List. The text editor can also be configured
so that global variables and procedures can be edited in a common editing window.
Along the lower border is the Messages window used to display compiler messages
for the CAPL program.
You can access the most important functions for each of the panes from the popup
menu by pressing the right mouse button. In the editor panes you have access, via
the popup menu, to the intrinsic CAPL functions and to the objects defined in the database.
Furthermore, you can copy text to the Clipboard from the popup menu, and
from there you can paste it in your program.
CAPL programs which are not available in Browser-specific file format are displayed
in unstructured format in a normal text window and can be edited there. As in the editors
of the Browser window, the program text can be edited via the menu command
Edit or from the popup menu. In section 6.2.6 you will learn how to import such CAPL
programs in Browser format.
6.2.3 Compiling CAPL Programs
To generate an executable program file in CBF format (CAPL Binary Format, file extension
*.CBF) from a CAPL program, you must compile the program with the CAPL
compiler.
Compilation of the program is started by the command Compile from the compiler
menu, or by pressing the Compile icon ( ) on the toolbar or by pressing the F9
