Where are language configuration files mciplbr etc.?

Hi everyone,

with mappMotion I saw language configuration files like “mciplbr” referenced in the documentation and in a motion packet log for a small program I wrote.

Question: Where can I find and read these language configuration files?

I think it is helpful and instructive to be able to read these files. In an ARNC0 project I can see for example “gmciplbr” and it is also explicitly listed in Cpu.sw.

excerpt from motion packet log header:

# Language configuration files loaded for program language:
#  mciplbr
#  mcipcbr
#  mcipubr
#  mcippipe
# ...

Regards,
Lukas

Hi @Lukas_Kimme ,
you need to add Interpreter file in the configuration view:

Thanks @valerio.manenti,

I actually already have that ProgInt.interpreter file and I used it to link to my custom language extension (AIL) files.

However, this does bring any of the mentioned files into my project. At least $ grep -sirn mciplbr and $ find -iname "*mciplbr*" don’t yield anything (except for the line # mciplbr in the motion package log files I mentioned in the initial posting)

Hi @Lukas_Kimme

The standard interpreter files aren’t included in the project anymore with mapp Motion. This was done because most customers didn’t need them and if the wrong versions of the files were loaded it would cause the interpreter to not start. This was confusing for customers as those files aren’t meant to be modified so they didn’t really help and only caused potential issues. Although they are helpful to use as a reference if interpreter modifications are needed.

The files now need to be requested through our support team or your local sales/engineering channel.

You can see some examples of the language file and the configuration file by adding either an “AIL file” or “AIL New Language File” from the toolbox.
