18. Save Project:
(a) Click the
“Save Project” Disc
located to the right of the zoom control at the top of the
Project View work area to “
Save Project As
” or “
Save
” your DSP design project (each time a
DSP parameter adjustment is made the Save Project Disc will re-appear)
OR
Select
“Save
Project As”
under the
File
menu at the top left of the application to name and save your
design project and
“Save Project”
to save as you work.
Note:
This saves the DSP design project you are working on to your PC (not to the
physical processor device). See Switch to Online Mode below to accomplish that.
(b) We recommend that you
Save As
the project file twice. Once to create a
Master File
and a
second time to create a
Work File
. Continue working with the Work File, update the Master
File appropriately and the Master File is protected. At the end of the project – continue
running the system with the Work File, rename it to Master Ver 2, or other.
19. Switch to Online Mode:
(Transfer/Save DSP design project to the physical device)
Once your DSP design project parameter adjustments are completed (and saved to your
PC) you can transfer/save your work to the connected physical processor device.
To do this,
(a) Click the red
“
Switch to Online Mode
”
button at the top of the Project View / Design Mode work
area page – as shown below (only visible when connected to a processor).
(b) This button selection actually performs two functions at the same time – it transfers or saves your
DSP design project to the connected processor device and that processor is now Online and
active (live).
(c) Follow instructions shown (save project if not already saved, etc). An
Hour Glass
symbol and
the prompt -
Preparing Devices. Please Wait
…
will appear once the process begins of
transferring / saving your DSP design project to the physical processor device.
(d) Any problems – check Auto Warning Messages in Network View regarding any Firmware
Incompatibility with Software (will not load your design into device if any incompatibility).
When complete,
(e)
Note
that the Design Mode label at the top of the page has changed to
“Online Mode”
and that
the “Switch to Online Mode” button has been re-named
“
Switch to Design Mode
”.
Thus you are able to quickly switch back and forth between Online Mode and Design Mode.
