2.6 Creating a Project Folder on the Hard Disk
2.6.1 Folder Structure
A project for a complete system is best placed in a directory containing
the folders and subfolders similar to the figure below.
This structure should be prepared when the device structure of the
project is created, as described in Classic Networks, Technical Manual
or LNS Networks, Technical Manual. The whole structure, or parts of it,
should be in place at this point.
In the text that follows, we use C:\ProjectACME as the project folder.
The Vista database (containing the network structure) requires a folder
of its own. The folder is a subfolder to ProjectACME, and it is called
VistaDb.
In the course of the project, the folder structure is enlarged, as new fold-
ers are added when setting up an XBuilder project.
A short description follows of the intended use for the folders and their
contents:
• DeviceDescr – .mta files and .xif files for the LonWorks devices.
• Documentation – general information, for example, useful manu-
als, data sheets, functional descriptions, I/O lists and so on.
• VistaDb – the Vista database.
• Graphics – .ogc files (graphics). Not used by the Xenta 913.
• BackupLM – backup files of the LonMaker database, in case an
LNS network is in use (not included in Fig. 2.6).
The XBuilder project requires a folder of its own. The folder is automat-
ically created when a new XBuilder project is created.
