Managing, Saving, and Transferring Designer Files

Xilica Designer uses two types of project files: .pjxml and .sxml. Understanding the differences helps ensure your design work remains secure and accessible.

.pjxml: The primary project file type containing your entire system design

• Includes all schematics and programming for every DSP device and controller in your project

• Save using File > Save or Save As

• Best practice naming format: ProjectName_SoftwareVersion_FileVersionNumber_LastUpdateDate

• Can be retrieved from Solaro devices via Network View > Device Setup > General tab

• Cannot be retrieved from Neutrino/Uno processors, so maintain a separate archive copy

.sxml: Contains schematic/programming for a single device only

Export methods:

1. From a connected online device:

   • Network View: Right-click device > "Export Device Design to File"

   • This retrieves the current design from the hardware

2. From your project:

   • Project View: Right-click device block > "Export Device Design to File"

Importing:

• Project View: Right-click device > "Import Device Design from File"

• Double-click the device after importing to view the schematic design
