Creating an EGL dataTable part

An EGL dataTable part associates a data structure with an array of initial values for the structure. To create an EGL dataTable part, do as follows:

  1. Identify a project or folder to contain the file. You must create a project or folder if you do not already have one.
  2. In the workbench, click File > New > Data Table.
  3. Select the project or folder that will contain the EGL file, then select a package. Since the dataTable name will be identical to the file name, choose a file name that adheres to EGL part name conventions. In the EGL Source File Name field, type the name of the EGL file, for example myDataTable. Select a dataTable sub-type (for details, see Data Table part in EGL source format).
  4. Click the Finish button.
