Saving the Program
To save the program we have written, use
File
Æ
Save Product
. This will save the program
on the PC (along with all other programs and tables in the product), but not on the device.
The program is present on the device as well, since it is downloaded to the device as you
build it.
But if the power to the device is cut, your program will be lost from the device and has to
be downloaded again from the PC. To prevent this from happening, you may save the
program in the flash memory on the device.

To download a program to a device without saving it in the flash memory:
1.
Open the product containing the program.
2.
Make sure the program is associated with the device and that a table is associated as
well.
3.
Right-click the device in the list of devices and choose
Start Program
from the pop-up
menu.
The program is downloaded to the device and started. The status of the device is
changed from STOP to RUN.
When you save the program in the flash memory on the device, you choose a program
bank in which to save the program. You always save the program that is currently in the
working memory of the device. The table that is active is also saved with the program.
To save the program on the flash memory of the device:

The program is now saved in the selected program bank.
If you save a program in program bank 0, this program will start when the device is pow-
ered up. If you want the device to run a different program, you can load that program using
a PC, either by using an existing product (containing the program to be used), or by
downloading the program from the device’s flash memory.
