Abstract

This paper describes the design and characteristics of an ATLAS integrated development environment (IDE) that currently supports test program set (TPS) development and maintenance for a portable test set. All of the raw editing and windowing capabilities are provided by a commercially available extensible code editor. Some special ATLAS enhancement features such as chroma-coding, template expansion and context sensitive help are added as extensions to the editor. The design concept establishes a loosely coupled relationship between the editor and the compiler. This attribute makes the design easily adaptable to existing ATLAS compilers.
