    Xilog3 - how to create a mix help please

    Hi

    I have never been able to work out how to create what i believe to be called a mix, basically bring up a mix which will run 2 .pgm files one after the other i.e. machine one side flip board and machine the other without aving to bring up the pgm programs seperately

    Thanks for any help

    Cheers

    In Xilog, File > New, and select .mix for the type.
    I don't have it in front of me, but on our version, you select the last option from I think the 3rd menu item, which let's you select your files.
    It's something like Insert...List of Programs. I can give you a more accurate explanation tomorrow.

    New file, and choose "mix" as the type.
    Then Tools > List of Programs to select the files to add to the mix.

    Note that the "List of Programs" option isn't available until you choose to create a new mix file.

    Hi thanks for that, are you using xilog plus as those options you suggest aren't available in xilog3, there is no file tab to click on

    Yes, Xilog Plus V1.12. It's probably 8 years old.
