The rendering of the ASN into XML is automatic, resulting in most of the controls in this section being automatically filled in by the tool in a fraction of a second. Given good ASN, there is no need for the user to ever edit these controls. Its primary purpose at this stage is more educational in nature. Users can examine how the ASN is broken down into leaves (a Mini-Edit term for one ASN production, which is part of a larger tree of such productions) and how the two languages map between each other. These controls can toggle along the tree displaying the data of each leaf in turn. The control buttons allow the tool to run first as a parser (putting the resulting tree on the clipboard) and then as a translator (building the equivalent XML from the parsed tree).
Leaf Count
The total number of leaves found in the ASN and which one is currently being shown in the controls. This control, and the next two, are only used (and therefore visible) with complex XML made up of multiple elements. 
Scroll Leaves
The scroll buttons, used to move back and forth between the leaves of the entire tree of this ASN. A simple data element will only have one leaf in its tree. 
R button
Resets the controls to the root (first) leaf in the tree. 
XML Name
The XML name (derived from the ASN name) of the item.
Comments
Any comments collected for the current leaf node. 
Preserve Space
When checked, the white space in comments is not collapsed. 
Number Ranges
The minimum and maximum value ranges for numbers such as an integer. 
Size Values
The minimum and maximum character sizes (length) for types such as strings. 
Fixed Size Box
The required character sizes (length) for types such as strings. Note that an entry might have a min-max or a fixed size but never both. 
Basic Type
The basic type of XML pattern that will be used in the element.
Tag Field
The XML name (derived from the ASN name) of the item.
Octet Method
The method of encoding that will be used for an Octet data type. Only applies to Octet data types. This type of data (a binary blob) is discouraged in code development, but when used must be encoded in one of the two provided ways. 
Array to Clipboard
This button will take the parsed tree of data and place it on the clipboard. Useful in debugging data frames. 
Enums to Clipboard
This button will take the parsed tree of enumerated item data and place it on the clipboard. Useful in debugging data elements with enumerations.
Parse out ASN.1
This button causes the ASN parser to run and displays the results in the XML window and in the above controls. The parsing process is typically followed by the translation process which builds up the XML. 
Build up XML
This button causes the XML translator to run and displays the results in the XML window. It is preceded by the parsing process which separates the ASN into translatable pieces in the data tree.
