REDHAWKIDE Sandbox
The IDE-based sandbox provides a graphical environment for launching, inspecting, and debugging components, devices, services, and waveforms. The IDE-based sandbox can host an instance of a Python-based sandbox, with both interlinked, allowing artifacts from the Python environment to interact with those on the graphical UI.
Launching Components in the IDE Sandbox
The following procedures explain how to launch a component in the IDE sandbox.
Default Property Values
To launch an implementation of a component with default property values, from the REDHAWK Explorer view, right-click the component, select Launch in Sandbox, and select an implementation of the component to start within the sandbox’s Chalkboard.
The component is launched in the sandbox. The component will initially be gray in color until launching is complete. When the component is finished loading, its background color is blue.
Customized Property Values
To launch an implementation of a component with customized property values, from the REDHAWK Explorer view, right-click the component, select Launch in Sandbox, and select Advanced.
If the component has multiple implementations, the Select Implementation dialog of the Launch wizard is displayed. Select the implementation and click Next.
