Code generation
If the settings are correct and no error is reported, the code generation engine instantly regenerates the source code. You can view the resulting code the Code Preview view of the Device Configuration tool.
Code Preview automatically highlights differences between the current and immediately preceding iteration of the code. You can choose between two modes of highlighting by clicking the Set viewing style for source differences. You can also disable highlighting altogether from the same dropdown menu. Such features as Copy, Search, Zoom-in, Zoom-out, and Export source are available in the Code Preview view. The search can also be invoked by CTRL+F or from the context menu.
Device Configuration source code can be generated in a C array (default) or binary format.
The code in a C array format is generated in two files:
dcd.c
dcd.h
The code in a binary format is generated in a single file:
dcd.bin
To change the code format, choose the required option from the dropdown menu in the Device Configuration Data (DCD) view.
