Using the Configuration Tool
Program Generation 2-5
Note:
SYS_printf is probably the most memory intensive function in DSP/BIOS.
Use the LOG functions instead of SYS_printf to make your application
smaller.
❏ Improved run-time performance. In addition to saving code space,
avoiding dynamic creation of objects reduces the time your program
spends performing system setup.
Creating objects with the Configuration Tool has the following limitations:
❏ Objects are created whether or not they are needed. You can create
objects dynamically if they will be used only as a result of infrequent run-
time events.
❏ You cannot delete objects created with the Configuration Tool at run time
using the XXX_delete functions.
Note:
No checks are performed to prevent an XXX_delete function from being
used on an object created with the Configuration Tool. If a program
attempts to delete an object that was not created dynamically, SYS_error
is called.
Follow these steps to create an object using the Configuration Tool:
1) Right-click on a module and choose Insert XXX, where XXX is the name
of the module. This adds a new object for the module. (You cannot create
an object for the GBL, HWI, or SYS modules.)
2) Rename the object. Right-click on the name and choose Rename from
the pop-up menu.
3) Right-click the icon next to the object and choose Properties to open the
property sheet.
4) Change property settings and click OK. For help on specific properties,
click Help in any property sheet.
