Code Interface Definitions

Create data, function, and memory section code generation definitions for standardization and software architecture conformance

In a large organization, you can help multiple people generate code that conforms to a general software architecture. Create code generation definitions that those people can use to control the appearance of model data (signals, parameters, and states) and functions in the code.
