The directory corresponding to each ETS includes:

  • directories Disk1, Disk2... to install the ETS.
  • a directory named Run containing Clarinet events files which can be copied manually or only edited from the CD-ROM (see more information below).

ETS directory content

The ETS sub-directory (name provided in index.htm) installed on the PC includes all environment needed to execute the ETS:

Each  sub-directory includes all the :

  • Templates of Tester
  • PICS/PIXIT files filled with standard parameters
  • Documentation files (Word 7.0 and Acrobat) format:
    • ETS_ope: provides information about ETS operation (templates files, profiles...).
    • ETS_ref: provides information about ETS reference (ATS origin).
  • IUT profiles, filters to run the Clarinet
  • Object files allowing to modify the ATS and to compile with Clarinet TTCN development package:
    • custom.obj.
    • userop.obj

Samples of execution

The directory named Run contains Clarinet events files. The files result from the running by acacia-teams of the ETS in front of standard IUT. They provide some help to the customers who want to see the TTCN trace and the PDU exchange. They can be edited with the Clarinet Event-Editor. A filter is generally also included but has to be updated sometimes at the version of the Clarinet Run-time package.
