41 | <p>The operation is used to create a parallel test component at any point in a behavior description by any other (running) component. | |
42 | <ul> | |
43 | <li>A component is created with its full set of ports and empty input queues;</li> | |
44 | <li>all component variables and timers are reset to their initial values (if any);</li> | |
45 | <li>the component itself is not started (the operation <a href="start.html"><b><font face="Courier New" color="#003258" size="4">start</font></b></a> is used to do this); </li> | |
46 | <li>the operation returns the unique component reference of the newly created instance.</li> | |
47 | </ul> | |
48 | <p>The optional <b><font face="Courier New" color="#003258" size="4">alive</font></b> keyword can be used to establish an "alive" parallel test component. | |
49 | <p>Optionally, a name can be associated with the newly created component instance. Associated component names can be free-format character strings, which are not required to be unique. | |
50 | <p>The main difference between normal and alive parallel test components is that alive parallel test components can be started many times while normal parallel test components can only be started | |
51 | once. See also the <a href="start.html"><b><font face="Courier New" color="#003258" size="4">start</font></b></a> keyword! | |

77 | <li> | |
78 | <p><i>component_identifier</i> is a reference to an already defined component type. </p> | |
79 | </li> | |
80 | <li> | |
81 | <p>It may be optionally preceded by a <i> module_identifier</i> referencing the module where the component is to be created. The module identifier and the component identifier are connected by a | |
82 | dot.</p> | |

85 | <p>The <b><font face="Courier New" color="#003258" size="4">create</font> </b> keyword is used to create a parallel test component.</p> | |

89 | <p>Example 1: | |
90 | <p><font face="Courier New">var CompType_CT vc_CompRef;<br> | |
91 | vc_CompRef := CompType_CT.create;</font> | |
92 | <p>The first line declares a variable having the same type (CompType_CT) as the component to be created. The second line creates the component and stores its reference in the variable vc_CompRef.</p> | |
93 | <hr align="left" width="25%"> | |
94 | <p>Example 2: | |
95 | <p><font face="Courier New">var CompType_CT vc_AliveCompRef;<br> | |
96 | vc_AliveCompRef := CompType_CT.create alive;</font> | |
97 | <p>The declared component reference (vc_AliveCompRef) will be used to store the reference of the newly created alive parallel test component.</p> | |
98 | <hr align="left" width="25%"> | |
99 | <p>Example 3: | |
100 | <p><font face="Courier New">var CompType_CT vc_AliveCompRef;<br> | |
101 | vc_AliveCompRef := CompType_CT.create("mycomp") alive;</font> | |
102 | <p>The component instance will have the name "mycomp".</p> | |
