Echelon IzoT NodeBuilder - Manual (Page 81)

Your installation executable should install your device interface files
in a subdirectory labeled with your company name (C:\Program Files
(x86)\LonWorks\Import\YourCompany, for example). Your
installation should search for your company’s folder and, if not found,
it should create a folder with your company’s name.
See Building an Application Image in Chapter 8 for more information
on these device interface files.
Device Resource Files
(.TYP, .FMT, .FPT)
Resource files are the files created by the NodeBuilder Resource
Editor that contain network variable and configuration property type
information and functional profile definitions. You must install all
resource files that are used by your device.
The location of the resource files on the IzoT NodeBuilder computer
can be found by starting the resource editor and finding the folder that
contains the resource file set you want to include in the installation.
For each resource file set, you must install the type file (.TYP
extension), the format file (.FMT extension), the functional profile
file (.FPT extension), and any language resource file (language
resource file extensions vary by language as described in the
NodeBuilder Resource Editor User’s Guide. Uninstalling a device
should not remove manufacturer resource files because they may be
used by other devices from the manufacturer.
Resource files should be installed to the LonWorks\Types folder, in a
subdirectory labeled with your company name (C:\Program Files
(x86)\LonWorks\Types\YourCompany, for example).
