Overview
Display and edit component configurations
The configuration profiles of the selected component is displayed in the Configuration View, and can be edited there.

Combine components
Retrieve components from a repository or load them from the file system and combine them together into a system using the System Editor.
Save and open systems
Save the contents of the System Editor and load it again at a later date.
Restore systems
Use saved System Editor states to restore a system of connected RT Components.
Operating Environment
The following must be installed for RTSystemEditor to function.
Because RTSystemEditor is an Eclipse plugin, it requires Eclipse to be installed. Eclipse is written in Java, so it in turn requires a Java environment to be set up before it can be installed (such as the JDK).
Start Eclipse and select Open Perspective->Other from the Window menu. The perspective selection dialog will be displayed.
Select RTSystemEditor from the list to open its perspective.
If RTSystemEditor is not available in the list of perspectives, check that EMF, GEF and XSD are all correctly installed, and that the RTSystemEditor plugin is in the correct directory.
Restart Eclipse
After confirming that RTSystemEditor starts, restart Eclipse using the same workspace. RTSystemEditor should be displayed as it was when you exited Eclipse.
