5.3.8 AIS File Selection

Finally, you must specify the name of the AIS file that you want to generate. You can manually enter the full path of the desired AIS file or click on the browse button (…) to select it graphically.

If the specified AIS file has *.h or *.c as an extension, it is generated in C header format that can be inserted into the source of another application. This format is plain text and can be read to check information about embedded AIS commands, their arguments, and optional data. This can be useful for diagnostic purposes.

When any other extension is specified, the file is generated in AIS Binary format. A file in this format is typically written to a Flash memory device.
