Documentation

The transparency of the ASCII data format means that project documentation is created virtually automatically at the same time as the project. Additional comments can be added via the Insert - Comment function in Excel. These comments can be added in any line apart from those with the object prefix ‘#’. They are only shown in the Excel file and therefore have no effect on the execution speed or memory on the target system.

Ideally, the project should be completed at this stage and the operator interface should be ready to run on the target system. In practice, however, the process described will have to be run through several times, since requirements are modified or extended during project implementation as new information about the project is obtained. With EPAM, however, this does not present any problems since modifications and additions can be carried out simply and quickly thanks to the use of Excel.
