3.1.1 Headline (RetinaDeclaration)

RetinaDeclaration - Syntax:

Syntax: RetinaDeclaration

The specific keyword which makes SCARLET interpret all the following things as belonging to a RDL program is

RETINA ;

If you do not want to give your program a certain name, which might remind you later of some important properties of the retina, then you just finish the line - as shown above - with ; . Otherwise you insert your favorite name as an element of Identifier. By the way, SCARLET will display this name, if this program is activated for a simulation, later.

RETINA Identifier;

 

Arriving at this point, an important common rule for both RDL and SDL becomes already visible:

Each device or declaration unit ends with a semicolon !

On the following pages the different pieces of the declaration part will be described in the same order they have to appear within the program.
