Defining Recipes
To create a recipe using the Recipe Wizard, select the Tools > Recipe Wizard menu command.
The first screen is an introductory screen defining the basic operations of the recipe wizard. Click
on the Next button to begin configuring your recipes.
To create a recipe definition, follow the
steps below. See Figure 13-2.
1. Specify the field names for the
recipe definition. Each name will
become a symbol in your project
as previously defined.
2. Select a data type from the drop
down list.
3. Enter a default value and comment
for each name. All new recipes
specified within this definition will
begin with these default values.
4. Click Next to create and edit
recipes for this recipe definition
Use as many rows as necessary to define all data fields in the recipe. You can have up to four
different recipe definitions. The number of recipes for each definition is limited only by the
available space within the memory cartridge.
Creating and Editing Recipes
The Create and Edit Recipes screen allows you to create individual recipes and specify values for
these recipes. Each editable column represents a unique recipe.
Recipes can be created by pressing the New button. Each recipe is initialized with the default
values specified during the creation of the recipe definition.
Recipes can also be created from the right mouse context menu by copying and pasting existing
recipes. New columns will be inserted to the left of the current cursor position including the
comment field.
Each new recipe will be given a default name that includes a reference to the recipe definition and
recipe number. This name will be in the form of DEFx_RCPy.
To create and edit recipes, follow the
steps below. See Figure 13-3.
1. Click on the Next button to get to
the Create and Edit Recipe
window.
2. Select the New button to insert a
new recipe as needed.
3. Rename the recipe name to an
appropriate non-default name.
4. Change the values in each recipe
data set as needed.
5. Click OK.
