Using Application FilesReport folder files include:• Compiler report (.LVC): depending on run controls, may include listings of theapplication logic, information on hardware module wiring, lists of variables and theirusages, etc.• Configuration report (.CFG): may include versions of graphical components used tocreate the text source files, dates and times of input and output files, etc. Updatedwhen EPROM files are created to include high / low address file checksums andCRCs.• ADV data file (.ADV): created if the Generate ADV Information run control isselected. Read by the Application Data Verifier to link variable names to variablelocations, so the ADV can output readable names in its report.• Consolidation Report file (.VCR): summary of application data created, to becompared to a similar file (.ACR) which is created by the ADV.• Tracker file (.CAS): created if the Generate Tracker Information run control isselected. Used by the Tracker program.• Label files (.HPS, .SFS): created if the I/O Label Information run control is selected.Plotter files for creating front-cover labels for the VPI modules. See Creating VPILabels.7.8.1.1. EPROM FilesThe compile process produces application / system files to be used in programming thememory devices on the boards. When boards use high / low address EPROM chips, thecompiler output must be split into two, one for each chip.The CPU/PD application and system software files are split automatically if theapplication run controls are set to have the ADV run automatically after compile.Otherwise, the files must be split manually. Go to the File View and select theapplication folder or the .HEX compiler output file in the application’s Output folder. Goto Actions | Utilities | PROM Split in the main menu, or click the PROM Split button onthe main toolbar.The individual EPROM files are created and shown in the application’s Output Folder.File checksums and CRCs are reported in the CAAPE’s Message Workspace andoutput to the configuration report (.CFG) file in the Report folder.See Programming Memory Devices for details.P2512A, Rev.
