Subprograms

Any program in TRIK Studio can be saved as a subprogram and used in another program.

Subprograms can be saved to a local collection or exported to a separate file for transfer to other computers.

To work with the collection of subprograms, use the menu item Tools → Subprograms:

1. Export to file.

2. Import from file.

3. Save to collection.

4. Load from the collection.

5. Clear collection.

Export to file

Use the export of subprograms to a file to transfer them to other computers. If you plan to use the subprograms on your computer, then use the option Save to collection.

To export subprograms from an open project to a separate qrs file, select Tools → Subprograms → Export to file in the main menu.

All subprograms from the current project will be exported to this file.

Import from file

To load previously-stored subprograms, select Tools → Subprograms → Import from file in the main menu.

Attention! If the imported file contains subprograms with the same names as in the current project, then the subprograms from the project will be replaced by imported ones.

Save to collection

To transfer subprograms to other computers, use the export function.

To save routines from the current project, select Tools → Routines → Save to Collection from the main menu.

Then select the subprograms you want to save and click OK.

Attention! If there are subprograms with the same names in the collection, they will be overwritten.

Load from collection

To load subprograms from the collection, select Tools → Subprograms → Download from the collection from the main menu.

Then select the subprograms that you want to import into the current project, and click OK.

Clear collection

To delete all subprograms saved in the collection, select Tools → Subprograms → Clear collection in the main menu.

The collection of subprograms is stored in the user directory and is not lost when uninstalling or reinstalling TRIK Studio.
