PROJECT FILES

SCADE UA Page Creator models are described in a project file (.etp) which stores the project options and configurations, and lists the files where model information is stored.

GRAPHICAL SPECIFICATION FILES SCADE UA Page Creator models are stored as graphical specification files (.sgfx) that describe all the objects composing the display. The graphical descriptions are declared in the model in XML format.

SYMBOL DEFINITION FILES SCADE UA Page Creator models are stored as graphical specification files (.sgfx) that describe all the objects composing the display. The graphical descriptions are declared in the model in XML format.

WIDGET SET FILES Widget set files (.ogfx) correspond to parts of graphical specifications. They describe graphical components that can reused in other SCADE UA Page Creator models. For more information, see “Designing UA DF Model with Widget Sets” on page 72.

PARTIAL FILES The graphical specification files (.sgfx), the widget files (.ogfx), and the symbol files (.sdfx) can be separated into partial files (.pgfx). These partial files correspond to graphical specification layers and containers. For details, see “Multifile Management” on page 61 in SCADE Display User Manual.

LOG FILES Log files (.log) may be produced when running the SCADE tools for ARINC 661 in command line (e.g., SCADE UA DF Generator, SCADE UA DF Importer, etc.).

COLOR TABLE FILES Color table files (.sct) are mandatory resource files allowing to manage the colors used in a graphical model.

FONT TABLE FILES Font table files (.sft) are mandatory resource files allowing to manage the fonts used in a graphical model.

LINE WIDTH TABLE FILES Line width table files (.swt) are mandatory resource files allowing to manage the line widths used in a graphical model.

LINE STIPPLE TABLE FILES Line stipple table files (.sst) are mandatory resource files allowing to manage the line stipples used in a graphical model.

SYMBOL TABLE FILES Symbol table files (.sdt) are 【optional】 resource files allowing to manage all symbols used in the project.

PICTURE TABLE FILE Picture table files (.pdt) are optional resource files allowing to manage all pictures used in the project.

CONNECTOR TABLE FILES Connector table files (.cnt) are optional resource files allowing to manage all connectors used in the project.

LOOK DEFINITION FILES Look definition files (.sld) define the list of stylesets and the value of their associated graphical properties for each widget.

STANDARD CONFIGURATION FILES The A661 Configuration Data formalizes a given version of the ARINC 661 standard. It consists of a set of XML files describing the list of widgets in the ARINC 661 server, their hierarchy, their definition and run-time parameters, the list of events, etc. For details, see Appendix A about “A661 Configuration Data Files” in SCADE Server Creator User Manual.

NATIVE A661 RESOURCE TABLE FILES Native A661 resource table files consist of a set of XML files defining the list of symbols (symbol table), pictures (picture table), and line styles (line style table – that lists the line styles applicable to the line style command for symbols) relative to the A661 Configuration Data.

Creating New Widget Set

You can create a widget set and insert it in a UA DF model. A widget set is an object that references a set of widgets. Widget sets provide a way to reuse part of a UA DF model. You can create a widget set model and define the widgets within the model or save a part of a UA DF model as a widget set.

The principle of such an approach is simple: once saved as a widget set, the part of the UA DF model intended to be used as a widget set is stored in a specific OGFX file, that can be pointed on by any UA DF model in the project as a widget set.
