7.7 Application program
The user determines the program that is to be executed. When uploading the ap-
plication program to the controller, this program is stored as a file to the internal
flash disk. The device enters the path and file name into the
\App\start.ini
file.
Path and file name
By default, JetSym creates in the
/app
directory a subdirectory and assigns the
project name to it. Then, JetSym stores the application program to this subdirec-
tory assigning the extension
*.es3
to it. Path and file names are always converted
into lower case letters.
