Using Application Files7.8.2. VPI2, WIU VSP and iVPI VSP Main Applications (Main subsystem)Inputs include:• Application source files (.VPC, .HDW, …) created by the user.• CPU and VSC system software from the selected CAA version.Output folder files include:• Application data structures (.HEX): created if the Generate PROM file run control isselected; can be downloaded to the board or can be split into individual high/lowaddress EPROM files for programming application memory devices. Also read bythe Application Data Verifier to prove that application data was created correctly.• System software (.HEX): copied from the CAA package directory. Can bedownloaded to the board, or can be split into high/low address EPROM files forprogramming CPU II system memory devices.• High/low address CPU EPROM files.• Vital serial application data structures (.VB1, .VB2, …): for programming the Vitalserial boards.• Vital serial system software (.HEX): can be used to program the Vital serial boards.• Graphical Simulator data file (.SMV): created if the Generate GraphSim Informationrun control is selected. Read by the Graphical Simulator to simulate the application.Report 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.P2512A, Rev.
