The Probekit editor

The Probekit editor is a tool with a visual interface that lets you define probes.

You can open the Probekit editor in the following ways:

Note: When you open the Probekit editor for a probe, the Problems view opens and displays errors and problems in the probe definition.

The Probekit editor has two pages, General and Probes.

The General page contains entry fields for the probe ID and version. It also contains a table for probe labels. These fields are optional; they are only for your use in identifying the probe.

The Probes page has three panes:
  • A tree pane that shows probe objects in a hierarchy that you can expand and collapse. Right-click items in the tree area to add and work with probe components.
  • An editing pane that lets you enter or edit property values for the component that is currently selected in the tree.
  • A Syntax Problems pane that reports errors and warnings regarding your probe's syntax.
The following commands appear in the pop-up menu for the Probekit editor tree pane:
