10. Click OK to return to the Application tab in the Mini FX Application. The
program ID you calculated appears in the Standard Program Identifier box.
Building the Application Image File
You can use the Application tab in the Mini FX Application to compile your device
application and generate a downloadable application image file for it. To do this, follow
these steps:
1. Click Build in the Build Application Image box.
2. The status box at the bottom of the Application tab informs you when the
application has successfully been compiled, and it displays build errors (if any).
3. If you receive any build errors, double-check that your code and fix the errors. For
more information on Neuron errors, including tips on how to resolve them, see
Chapter 7 of the Neuron Tools Errors Guide.
Note: The FT 5000 EVB example applications contain multiple Neuron C source and
header files, which are all referenced by the main.nc file. If you modify any of these
files and you want to build the modified device application with the Mini FX
Application, re-build the main.nc file in the example’s

\NeuronC\Examples\FT50000 EVB\<Example>\Source folder.
Downloading an Application Image File
You can use the Device tab in the Mini FX Application to download an application image
file over a L
ON W ORKS network into your development platforms or any other L ON W ORKS
device based on a Neuron Chip or Smart Transceiver. To do this, you select a network
interface, select a device, select the application image file to be downloaded into the
specified device, and then download the application image file.
Note: Your EVBs ship with example applications pre-loaded on them. This means that
out-of-the-box you can install and bind them using the ISI protocol—without any
additional steps (no network tool is required). You can also install and bind your EVBs
using the LonMaker tool (available separately), or other network tool. Binding refers to
the process in which devices are logically connected via the network variables in their
device applications.
• The FT 5000 EVBs come with the NcMultiSensorExample application pre-loaded on
them. See the FT 5000 EVB Examples Guide for more information on downloading
and using this example application.
• The PL 3150 EVB comes with the MgDemo application pre-loaded on it, and the PL
3170 EVB comes with the MgSwitch application pre-loaded on it. See the Mini
FX/PL Examples Guide for more information on downloading and using these
example applications.
To download an application image file into a device, follow these steps.
