## Creating group files

A group file is a file that contains a collection of device files stored together as one file. The device files can come from any TI file type. Group files provide a convenient way for you to send a large number of files to your device at one time.

### To create group files

| 1. | In the TI Data Editor menu, click File > New > TI Group.

| 2. | On your computer, locate the device files you want to store in the group file.

| 3. | Drag the device files to the TI Group window.

The TI Group window shows the name, kind, and size of each file.

Notes:

| • | If the destination platform dialog box opens, select a device type from the list and click OK.

| • | If the invalid file name dialog box opens, enter or select a name and click OK.

Note: If the Native File dialog box opens, select a device type and click OK.

| 4. | Save the group file. (See "Saving data".)
