831 - PAC-Designer: How do I convert my Logi-Builder design code to ABEL?
PAC-Designer: There are times when the user wants to convert the design to ABEL language to describe the sequence for a Power Manager.
- Start a simple sequence and add your timers and output states in LogiBuilder.
- Save the design
- Compile the design under the TOOLS menu
- Go to the VIEW menu and select "View ABEL Source" This window will pop up the compiled ABEL code that represents the design you started.
- Go to the EDIT menu and select "Enable ABEL Editing".
Once in this mode, you can change the code using ABEL and redo any of the basic features and methods supported in ABEL. Once you are done, compile again and you are done. One thing to note, it will not go back and back-annotate your sequence code you started with. See the following link on using ABEL tools.
