Building and Downloading Device Applications

The NodeBuilder Basic Shapes 4.00 stencil contains a Development Target Device shape and a
Release Target Device shape. These special device types help distinguish between other devices
on the network and the target devices used by the NodeBuilder tool. The NodeBuilder tool lets
you create a mixed network of development hardware (such as the FT 5000 EVB or the LTM-10A
Platform), release hardware (your own hardware), and other devices.

4. Drag a Development Target Device shape or Release Target Device shape from the

NodeBuilder Basic Shapes 4.00 stencil to your network drawing. You can drop the shape
anywhere, but a good location is just below the Channel 1, near the LNS network interface shape
on your drawing.

5. The New Device Wizard opens.

6. In the Device Name property, enter a name for the target. This name must be unique for all the

devices and targets within the current page (subsystem). The default name is the Device followed
by an integer (e.g. Device 1). The device name may be up to 85 alphanumeric characters and
include embedded spaces; the name may not include the period, backslash, colon, forward slash,
or double quote characters.

7. Select the Commission Device check box.
