Compiling and Building a Library
Once the code is written and is ready to test, the user can
either:
• Compile the UDFB file.
• Build a library.
To compile the UDFB file from within the editor window:
1. Select the File menu.
2. Select the UDFB menu.
3. Select Compile for Execution
-or-
Compile for Simulation .
Either of these options causes LogicPro to compile your
UDFB. A DOS screen will appear momentarily as the
compiler works. Once the DOS screen disappears, your
UDFB is compiled. The simulation library will be used in
simulation mode and the execution library in runtime.
To build a library:
1. Select Build Execution Lib from the UDFB menu.
The Build UDFB Library for Execution dialog box,
shown in Figure 11.4, appears.
2. Click the UDFBs that you want to put into the library
since only the selected UDFBs will be in the finished
library.
3. Click [OK] to compile the files and build a library.
Figure 11.4 Build UDFB Library for Execution
The library is named xxxUDFB.lib with a prefix indicating
the kind of resource that is currently opened.
