Question:  

What are the files Netlinx Studio creates in the compile directory?

Answer:

When compiling code, Netlinx Studio creates a number of files in the compile directory: Here is a brief explanation of what they are.

Netlinx Compile

• SRC file: This is the source code in a zipped format.  It can be opened with Netlinx Studio/File/Unzip NetLinx Source, WinZip, WinRAR, etc.   If you have "Edit/Preferences/Netlinx Compiler Options/Options/Build With Source" unchecked, the SRC file will only contain the empty file NoSource.txt.
• TKO file: This is used by the compiler to generate the TKN file.  If a module needs to redistributed without source, send the user the module's TKO file.  If the code is not in a project, (for example the compiling and downloading "orphan" files), each module will need to be compiled to generate its TKO before the main compile is done.
• TKN file: This is the compiled token file that actually runs in the master.  If the Netlinx code needs to be distributed without source, send the user the TKN file.

Axcess Compile

• TKS file: Axcess1 symbol file.
• TOK file: This is the compiled token file that actually runs in the master.  It also contains the compressed source code if "Edit/Preferences/AXCESS Compiler Options/Build/Build with Source" is checked.  If the Axcess code needs to be distributed without source, uncheck ".../Build with Source" before compiling, then send the user the TOK file​.
