Echelon IzoT NodeBuilder - Manual (Page 130)

New Creates a new hardware template to be added to the selected folder.
Selecting this option opens the Hardware Template Editor dialog
where you can create a new hardware template.
• If you are creating a hardware template in the Hardware
Templates folder, it will be placed in the NodeBuilder project
folder (for example, C:\Lm\Source\NB_FX Exercise).
• If you are creating a hardware template in the User Templates
folder, the new User hardware template will be placed in the User
hardware templates folder, which is
C:\Lm\Source\Templates\Hardware by default. If this folder does
not already exist on your computer, you will be prompted to create
it.
You can set the default User hardware templates folder in the
Options tab of the NodeBuilder Project Properties dialog. To
access this dialog, click Project and then click Settings, or
right-click the Project folder in the Project pane and click Settings
on the shortcut menu.
You can create folders in the User hardware templates folder, but
the IzoT NodeBuilder tool will only show them if they contain at
least one hardware template.
Proceed to the next section, Editing Hardware Templates, to configure
the hardware, memory, and description of the new hardware template.
Insert References an existing hardware template and inserts it into the
currently open NodeBuilder project. After you select this option,
browse to and select an existing NodeBuilder device template file
(.NbHwt extension) to be inserted into your current NodeBuilder
project.
Note: This command is only available for the Hardware Templates
folder.
Insert Copy Creates a copy of an existing NodeBuilder hardware template, lets you
modify the hardware template properties, and inserts the modified
hardware template into the currently open NodeBuilder project.
After you select this option, browse to and select an existing
NodeBuilder device template file (.NbDt extension) to be inserted into
your current NodeBuilder project. After you select an existing
hardware template, the Hardware Template Editor dialog opens.
Proceed to the next section, Editing Hardware Templates, to configure
the hardware, memory, and description of the hardware template copy.
Note: You can also create a copy of an existing NodeBuilder hardware
template by dragging a standard or user hardware template to the
Hardware Templates folder.
Notes:
• You can add a hardware template to a device template’s development or release target by dragging
the hardware template from the Hardware Templates folder to the appropriate Release or
Development folder. Each of these folders can contain only one hardware template. When you
drag a new hardware template to one of these folders, it replaces the old one if the folder already
contained a hardware template. You can edit an existing hardware template by double-clicking it,
which opens the Hardware Template Editor dialog.
