Creating and Running Programs Chapter 6
Using Source Files A source file is a text file that contains C programming language code, which
Ultraware software uses to create an executable program file for an Ultra5000
drive when you execute the Program menu’s Build command. A source file is
identified by its .c extension. Each source file contains:
• # include statements, (which refer to external header files - identified by
their .h extensions)
• the C code that is the body of the source file.
You can move a source file to an Ultra5000 drive's Archives branch for storage.
Creating a New Source File
To create a new source file do one of these actions:
• Click Source File in the Insert menu.
• Click project in the Workspace window, and then right-click Insert Source
File.
A new source file appears in the Workspace window. The name of the new source
file is Source.c or Source
n.c if Source.c already exists. Where n is the lowest
integer that creates a unique source file name within the selected project.
After a source file is created, you can configure its parameters (change its name)
and edit its contents.

1. Choose the source file in the Workspace window.
2. Choose one of these commands:
• Click Properties in the File menu.
