PSoC Creator & Designer Software

        hi to all. I am trying to make custom components. I read PSoC Creator Component Author Guide(http://www.cypress.com/?docID=41594). But I don't know how to use formals parameter in API.c Author Guide says "Using parameters allows a Verilog instance to be synthesized based on the specific requirement of a component instance. " at page 125. Is there method to use formals parameter in API.c?

On page 63 in Component Author Guide" is a (short) explanation in how to refer to a component's parameters.

   

It folloows the syntax of

   

`<@ParameterName>`  (do not care for the colour, its a forum sw bug) 

   

which will be expanded to the parameter's value at the time the c-code gets generated.

       

Just to satisfy my curiosity: What kind of component are you building?

       

Happy coding

When you enter the parameters in the Component symbol file, you can get that in your header file as a macro.

   

#define `$INSTANCE_NAME`_ParameterName `$ParameterName`

Sorry, forget the "<" and ">" in my last post. I mis-read something.

   

To use "@" or "$" are equivalent.

        Thank you Bob and Ken responded. I missed the page. I was able to understand how to use the parameter. Dear Bob I'm making a calculator like Free42 using the keypad. Keypad http://wvshare.com/product/A_D-Keypad.htm Free42 http://thomasokken.com/free42/
