Using Source Files
A source file is a text file that contains C programming language code, which
Ultraware software uses to create an executable program file for an Ultra5000
drive when you execute the Program menu’s Build command. A source file is
identified by its .c extension. Each source file contains:
•
# include statements, (which refer to external header files - identified by
their .h extensions)
•
the C code that is the body of the source file.
You can move a source file to an Ultra5000 drive's Archives branch for storage.
Creating a New Source File
To create a new source file do one of these actions:
•
Click Source File in the Insert menu.
•
Click project in the Workspace window, and then right-click Insert Source
File.
A new source file appears in the Workspace window. The name of the new source
file is Source.c or Source
n.c if Source.c already exists. Where n is the lowest
integer that creates a unique source file name within the selected project.
After a source file is created, you can configure its parameters (change its name)
and edit its contents.
Renaming a Source File

1. Choose the source file in the Workspace window.
2. Choose one of these commands:
•
Click Properties in the File menu.

Right-click Properties from the pop-up menu.
