222 Example FTXL Applications
Running the Simple Example
To verify that the application runs as expected, connect the FTXL Transceiver
Board to a network management tool, such as the LonMaker tool. From the tool,
modify the value for the nviVolt network variable and confirm that the value for
the nvoVoltFb network variable is double that value:
1. Open the LonMaker drawing for the FTXL device.
2. Ensure that the FTXL device is properly configured, commissioned, and
online.
3. Right-click the FTXL device on the LonMaker drawing and select Browse
to open the LonMaker Browser window.
4. Within the LonMaker Browser window, select the row for the nviVolt
network variable.
5. Enter a value for the network variable in the Value field at the top of the
window. Click the Set value button to set the network variable’s value.
6. Select the row for the nvoVoltFb network variable, and click the Get
value button to see its current value. That value should be twice the
nviVolt value.
Running the Dynamic Interface Example
To verify that the application runs as expected, connect the FTXL Transceiver
Board to a network management tool, such as the LonMaker Integration tool.
From the tool, modify the value for the nviVolt network variable and confirm that
the value for the nvoVoltFb network variable is double that value, as described
for the simple example.
You can also change the type for the nviVolt or nvoVoltFb network variables, or
add dynamic variables for the logical circuits described in
The Dynamic Interface
Example Application on page 202.
Changing Network Variable Types
To change the type of the two network variables that are defined for the
VoltAmplifier functional block:
1. Open the LonMaker drawing for the FTXL device.
2. Ensure that the FTXL device is properly configured, commissioned, and
online.
3. Right-click the FTXL device on the LonMaker drawing and select Browse
to open the LonMaker Browser window.
4. Select the row for either the nviVolt or nvoVoltFb network variable. Be
sure not to select the row for the corresponding configuration property
(displayed in green, with the value SCPTnvType in the Config Prop
column).
5. Right-click the nviVolt or nvoVoltFb network variable and select Change
Type to open the Select Network Variable Type dialog.
