Chapter 4: Using the Elmo Studio

The Elmo Studio is a program editing application that includes a range of program
creation, editing, build and debugging functions. You can use it in conjunction with the
Composer to edit your application programs for subsequent download to the servo drive.
The Elmo Studio is similar in look and general functionality to the Microsoft Visual
Studio; users should already be familiar with the basics of source file coding, compiling
and debugging.

To access the Elmo Studio, click the

button in the Composer toolbar or select Tools –

Program Editor. The Elmo Studio desktop will be displayed as in the following example:

The last program to be edited will be displayed, and the name of the currently active
application will be shown in the drop-down list box above it.

This chapter briefly describes the menus, toolbars and functionality of the Elmo Studio.
You may wish to consult the relevant Elmo Software Manual for detailed information
about specific program structure, definitions and limits for Elmo products.
