Installing the Neuron Field Compiler
To install and use the Neuron Field Compiler on a development computer,
perform the following steps:
1. Download the ReadMe.htm, FieldCompiler400.exe, and
LonMarkResourceFiles1300.exe files. After licensing the Neuron
Field Compiler product, you will be provided with a download link for
these files.
2. After reviewing the ReadMe document, double-click the
FieldCompiler400.exe file to begin the Neuron Field Compiler
installation. The Neuron Field Compiler main installer window opens.
3. Follow the installation dialogs to install the Neuron Field Compiler onto
your computer.
4. Double-click the LonMarkResourceFiles1300.exe file to begin the
L

5. Follow the installation dialogs to install the L
ON
M
ARK
resource files onto
your computer.
The Neuron Field Compiler installer installs the Neuron Field Compiler runtime
components, including the command-line interface and the compiler adapter
interface. As part of the installation, the Neuron Field Compiler installer creates
the L ON
W
ORKS
installation folder, \Program Files\LonWorks.
The L ON M ARK Resource Files installer installs the L ON M ARK resource files,
which are required for Neuron C application development.
You can incorporate the Neuron Field Compiler installer into your application’s
installation, either as a standalone component that your end-users will install, or
as a component that your overall software installer will install.
Review the Neuron Field Compiler Release 4.0 ReadMe document before running
the Neuron Field Compiler installer, or developing your application with the
Neuron Field Compiler.
Neuron Field Compiler Restrictions
The Neuron Field Compiler allows the same Neuron C language constructs and
features as are supported by the NodeBuilder FX Development Tool and Mini FX
Evaluation Kit. However, the Neuron Field Compiler does not support the
following features:
• Creation of images for ShortStack ® or Microprocessor Interface Program
(MIP) devices. The #pragma micro_interface and #pragma
set_netvar_count directives are not available.
• The direct memory file (DMF) access method, which is used by some
types of ShortStack devices.
• Debug images.
