Updating FPMs

The following section describes how to update your FPMs. The steps you perform depend on which
component of your FPM you want to update: data point declarations (resource files), the FPM
application (the source file), or the device interface.

Updating Data Point Declarations

You can add new network variable and configuration property members to the UFPT used by your
FPM, or update existing members and then add or update the data points in the source file (.cpp
extension).

To update the data point declarations in your source file, follow these steps:

1. Use the NodeBuilder Resource Editor to generate an updated resource file set for your company.

See Chapter 3 for more information on generating an updated resource file set.
