From the DESpot Main Window menu bar select DES | New DES or click on the New DES
button on the toolbar. This will open a dialog
asking for the name and type (regular, subsystem or interface) of the new DES. The type property is only relevant for HISC
systems but is used for all DES to allow DES to be used for multiple project types simultaneously. Essentially,
des are type "regular" for a flat project, "subsystem" if the DES is to be part of an HISC subsystem, and
"interface" if the DES will be part of an HISC interface. The type can be changed later using either the
graphical or tabular des editors.
Once the name and type have been entered, click OK and the graphical or
tabular editor will open to allow DES creation.
