Creating ESDL Code

Add the methods or processes you need, as described in Defining a Component Signature.
In the Outline tab, select a method.
Create the elements you want by clicking the element buttons and typing in the names for the elements.
Type the code for the method into the code pane.
You can use an external editor the same way as in the C code editor. You can use Cut, Copy, and Paste as usual.
Do one of the following to save the code of the current model:
- In the File menu, select Save.
- Press <Ctrl> + <s>.
You are asked whether you want to save every time you switch to another method.

In a textual specification there are no sequence calls; the order in which statements are evaluated is determined by their order in the source code. Elements and other methods are referred to in the code by their names.
