Standalone Tool Adapter |

### The user interface

The interface consists in 3 screens which allow the following operations: create new adapter, edit, duplicate and delete an existing adapter, executing an adapter.

#### Managing the existing adapters

This form, having the title 'External Tools', lists all the currently defined adapters, with a bottom button band that contains actions for creating a new adapter, duplicating an existing adapter, editing, deleting and executing an adapter. On the top, one can set the location from where adapters are read by double-clicking the area from the right of the label "Adapters location". Below it, there is a list of the adapters where the user can select an adapter to execute one of the aforementioned actions.

This form can be invoked by using the menu Tools->Manage external tools of the SNAP application.

#### Creating a new adapter or modifying an existing one

The form for creating a new adapter is reused for editing an existing adapter and for duplicating an adapter.

Go here to see details about editing an adapter.

#### Executing an adapter from SNAP

When executing an already defined adapter, some actions are necessary in the execution form:

- Choosing the source products, either by selecting one from the already loaded products, or by loading new ones
- Setting parameter values; this step is not necessary and if not executed, the default values of the parameters will be used.

Note: the parameters sourceProduct and sourceProductFile will not be available in the execution form, since those are edited by actually selecting the source product(s)!
