   It is a good idea to save your work from time to time while editing, too!
6. Generate and compile a Java® source file with the Save As... button.
7. Create a system configuration to test an instance of the device type. For an example see the TEST_SYS3 configuration.
8. Instructions for launching instances of Device types are given here.
