Creating a New Project

To start a new project, click File>New project of the GF_ProjectVX code main window.

You are required to enter the name of the new project in the Name text area. The string you enter will also be the name of the folder which will contain all the files making up the GF_ProjectVX code project. The path name in the Directory area indicates the default location of this folder.

Target selection allows you to specify the target device which will run the project.

Finally, you can make the project case-sensitive by activating the related option. Note that, by default, this option is not active, in compliance with IEC 61131-3 standard: when you choose to create a case-sensitive project, it will not be standard-compliant.

When you confirm your decision to create a new project and the whole required informa- tion has been provided, GF_ProjectVX code completes the operation, creating the project directory and all project files; then, the project is opened.

The list of devices, from which you can select the target for the project you are creating, depends on the contents of GF_ProjectVX code catalog, which contains the list of available target devices

If the desired target is missing, either you have run the wrong setup executable or you have to run a separate setup which is responsible to update the catalog to include the target device. In both cases, you should contact your hardware supplier for support.
