XML Editing Tools

We recommend using one of these editors to create XML formatted files. Of course you can use your own preferred toolkit … (there are better things than old dreadful notepad)

As we often use a different extension (map, fir) than .XML - you probably need to choose the correct file format when opening a FIR definition file.
