to use the NodeBuilder Code Wizard to define your device interface and generate Neuron C code
that implements it. Explains how to start the NodeBuilder Code Wizard, how to add functional
blocks, network variables, and configuration properties to your device template, and how to create
the Neuron C framework for your device interface.
• Developing Device Applications. Provides an overview of the Neuron C Version 2.3
programming language. Describes how to edit the Neuron C source code generated by the
NodeBuilder Code Wizard to implement your device functionality. Explains how to use the
NodeBuilder Editor to edit, search, and bookmark Neuron C code.
• Building and Downloading Device Applications. Describes how to compile Neuron C source
code, build an application image, and download the application image to a device. Explains how
to add target devices to a NodeBuilder project and how to manage them.
