An application image for a device created by the Neuron C compiler will
contain self-identification information unless the #pragma disable_snvt_si
directive is used. See the Compiler Directives chapter of the Neuron C Reference
Guide for more information.
Including self-identification and self-documentation data with a device makes
it easier to install, as it allows easy, plug-and-play style, integration in multi-
vendor networks. While self-identification and self-documentation simplify
installation, these methods do not expose any of the algorithms used within
the application.

Digital Sensor Example
The following example application adds a Switch functional block to the previous
digital sensor example. The network variable output is changed to be a member
of the functional block. The functional block code is highlighted in bold. The
enable_sd_nv_names compiler directive is not required to implement functional
blocks, but simplifies network integration by putting network variable names in
the application image for a device. A network tool such as the LonMaker
Integration Tool is required to test this application.
#pragma enable_sd_nv_names
#pragma num_alias_table_entries 2
#pragma run_unconfigured
// Define the device interface
network input SCPTlocation cp cpLocation = {"Unknown"};
#pragma ignore_notused cpLocation
network output SNVT_switch nvoSwitch;
fblock SFPTswitch {
nvoSwitch implements nvoSwitch;
} fbSwitch external_name("Switch");
// Configure the I/O pins
IO_4 input bitshift numbits(8) clockedge(-) ioButtons;
IO_6 output bit ioButtonLd = 1;
// Read the MiniGizmo buttons
boolean GetButton(void) {
// Latch the button inputs
io_out(ioButtonLd, 0);
io_out(ioButtonLd, 1);
// Shift in and return TRUE if any buttons are pressed
return !((unsigned) io_in(ioButtons) == 0xFF);
