Workshop PG5
Write your first program
2.3 BUILD your program
What’s the BUILD
function?
BUILD your program:
The functionality of BUILD is one of the most powerful features of the PG5
package. It provides an automated and optimized procedure to take you from
edit mode into online mode. The PCD system is updated with all the modifications
that have been made to the project files.
.
Compile the program by clicking on the "Build Project" icon.
As soon as you click on the "Build " icon, the program goes through all the
files and assembles one after the other. This process is documented in the message
window, so you'll always know which files are actually assembled. Once
all the files are done, the linking starts. This also is documented in the message
window. If everything is ok, the message window will tell you:
Output to the
MESSAGE
WINDOW:
The program " Inputoutput
combination.src "
has no errors.
All the files that are
linked. (We only
have one file in this
example plus the
basic file called
"~projpg4" which is
always there.)
The build was
successful.
Upon a successful build, your program is ready to be downloaded to the PCD.
