4.2.2 Editing a Program File
To open an existing program file that resides on your computer, click or select File - Open.
A program window will be opened with the selected file.
To upload a program from a connected drive:
1. Click or select Build - Upload Program.
2. If no program file is currently open, the file will be uploaded and the Save As dialog
box will be displayed for you to save the file on your computer. If a program file is
currently open, the following message will be displayed: Are you sure you want to
upload the current file [file name]? Click Yes to overwrite the existing file, or No to
save the uploaded file under a different name.
Once the file is open, you can edit the program as you would in any text editor, using the
tools available in the Standard toolbar. You can perform regular searches using the Edit -
Find function, and you can search for multiple occurrences of an item using the Edit -
Find All option (or clicking
).
When using the Find All option, the results of the search will, by default, be displayed in
the Find in Files 1 tab of the Output window. To perform subsequent searches without
overwriting the results of a previous search, select the Output to pane 2 check box in the
Find All dialog box.
4.2.3 Defining Program Limitations
To view the various limitation values for your program, click the button to display the
Limitations dialog box.
The dialog box is read only; click Details to display the full list of current limitation
values.
4.2.4 Compiling a Program
Once your program is completed to your satisfaction, you can compile it. You may
compile the program either online (while communication with the driver is active) or off-
line. Alternatively, you may use the Build option to compile and download the program
in one step (refer to
section 4.2.5 ).
To compile a program, click or select Build - Compile. The Elmo Studio will compile
the program and display all processing messages in the Build tab of the Output window.
