Using Application FilesOne possible use for the label annotation file is to put prom checksums or CRCs on thelabels:1. Perform the compiles to generate prom files and calculate the prom checksums andCRCs. Checksum and CRC data is saved in the compiler configuration reports.2. Create or edit the label annotation file by going to the I/O Label Information sectionof the VPI application's run controls and clicking the Label Comments button. ALabel Annotations dialog is displayed. Add the checksums or CRCs as commentsfor the appropriate boards.3. Enable label file creation in the run controls; go to the General tab of the runcontrols dialog and disable prom generation. Run the VPI Compiler. New prom filesare not created, so the prom checksums and CRCs do not change. Label files arecreated, and in the process the CAAPE reads the comments from the annotation fileand put them on the labels for the appropriate boards.P2512A, Rev. Oct/09 7–25 Alstom Signaling Inc.
