Adding App logic offline

Initially. the Local AceDevice contains a minimum default application which contains a Services folder with the PlatformService and CommService objects. You drag ACE components to the App Wire Sheet to build your app logic. As an example, this procedure describes adding the Ace Ramp and AoPoint components.
Prerequisites:

You have already created your new offline App.


Perform the following steps:
  1. In the NavTree, double-click your offline App to open the Wire Sheet view.

  2. In the toolbar, click Window > Side Bars > ACE Catalog, to open the ACE Catalog pane.
     
    NOTE: The ACE Catalog functions like a palette, in that you access it via the Workbench Side Bars, in the pane you can navigate to folders, expand folders, and drag components from the pane. The catalog contains a large number of Ace components, many of those are similar to kitControl components.
     
  3. Expand the catalog’s Util folder and drag the Ramp component to the wire sheet.
  4. Expand the Ace Io folder and drag the AnalogOutput component to the wire sheet.
  5. Open a Property Sheet view of the AnalogOutput and set the pointIndex value to 1.00 which corresponds to 1st output.

  7. Click the SaveBog icon in the toolbar to save your changes to the Ace App.
     
    CAUTION: When engineering offline Apps be sure to save your changes via the Workbench toolbar SaveBog icon (Image) not the Save icon. SaveBog saves the App offline.
