Name

xsimulator - interactive simulator with X-windows interface

Important Note

The xsimulator tool is a small, simple simulator with very limited capabilities. It is only available on Unix systems and cannot be ported to Windows easily. It is advised to migrate to the ocis simulation tool, which provides advanced capabilities and is available for both Unix and Windows platforms.

Description

This program provides interactive simulation for the BCG graph spec.bcg, the composition expression spec.exp, the FSP program spec.lts, the LNT program spec.lnt, the LOTOS program spec.lotos, or the sequence file spec.seq.

A stack is used to maintain the execution sequence starting from the initial state and leading to the current state, thus making backtrack possible.

The list of available commands can be obtained by clicking on the "help" button.
