General Dataflow
The diagram below represents at a high level how data flows through the Tutorial platform software. The specific knowledge and simulation methods of an expert are captured in a work flow application in terms of XML drive pages and PCL automation functions.
• The platform software interprets the XML content and makes a display to the single form interface.
• User interactions result in the launching of automation functions.
Detailed Data Flow
The diagram below provides more data flow detail. For clarity only the most basic flow paths are diagrammed . Considering the memory State Table interactions for example, the AASTATE class functions are called by virtually all system components.
• AAI class functions interpret the XML tags finding the appropriate HTML dialog packet for display. They also invoke or set up for invocation PCL automation functions referenced by the <dialog> tag attributes.
• AAUI class functions take care of display on the interface.
• The external function definitions file (xxx.def) provides the information required for display of widgets in the Inputs Box, and for invoking of any PCL automation functions requiring user inputs.
• All custom automation functions are compiled into the library. AANAV and AACHECK are two function classes established for this purpose. Authors may add others.
