Creating a Textual State Machine

You can create a textually defined state machine by converting an existing graphically defined state machine. Follow these steps:

1. Right-click on a capsule state machine in the Project Explorer and perform the command Refactor - Create Fragment.
2. A dialog appears. Select the option to save the state machine in an .srt file.

3. Press OK and confirm the update of references to the state machine in the workspace. The state machine diagram will be replaced with a text file that contains a textual definition of the state machine.

To create a new capsule with a textual state machine, first create the capsule as usual. It will get a minimal state machine defined with a diagram. Then follow the above steps to convert it into a textual state machine.
