The Definition Editor is the most important part of the application environment. It is where the majority of project design work is performed, including the graphical construction of circuits (i.e. Schematic view), component graphic design, as well as scripting.
The definition editor window is invoked (in Schematic view by default) by a left-click on a project in the workspace window.
The definition editor is divided into six sub-windows. Each of the sub-windows can be accessed by simply clicking on the specific tab on bar at the bottom of the editor window. The tab bar is shown below for reference:
As you can see, the Script tab is initially disabled (greyed-out). This tab is used exclusively for non-module component design, and will not be enabled unless editing a non-module component definition. See Editing a Component or Module Definition in Chapter 9 for details on this.
The Schematic tab is always the default view when a project is first opened. This is where all control and electrical circuits are constructed.
This Graphic window is used for editing the graphics of a component definition or module.
This Parameters window is used for editing the parameters of a component definition.
This Script window is used for editing non-module component definition code.
The Fortran tab is a simple text viewer that allows easy access to the EMTDC Fortran file corresponding to the module definition currently being viewed. For example, if you are viewing the main page of a project in Schematic view, the Fortran window (click the Fortran tab) will show the EMTDC Fortran file corresponding to the main page.
The Data window is a simple text viewer that allows easy access to the EMTDC input data for any existing electric network, corresponding to the module being viewed in the Schematic window. For example, if you are viewing the main page of a project in Schematic view, the Data window (click the Data tab) will show the EMTDC input data for the main page.
