QUÉ ES LA COMPRENSIÓN LECTORA: RASGOS GENERALES

The LonMaker Design Manager allows you to create, open, backup, restore, defragment, and delete LonMaker networks. You can also set the resource file languages and select the LonMaker template for new networks. To open the LonMaker Design Manager, click the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, then point to the Echelon LonMaker for Windows folder, and select LonMaker for Windows. The LonMaker Design Manager appears:

The LonMaker Design Manager General tab contains the following fields and buttons: Drawing Directory Selects a directory from all the subdirectories of the directory

indicated in Drawing Base Path. To work with an existing LonMaker network design, select the directory containing the design.

Drawing Name Selects a LonMaker drawing from all the LonMaker drawings contained in the selected drawing directory. Select the LonMaker drawing you want to open, delete, or backup. Database Name Selects an LNS database from all the LNS network databases

on this computer. Select the database you want to defragment, delete, or backup, or for which you want to start the LNS Server. This field is not used for the Open Network, Open Copy, and Restore operations.

Show all network option

dialogs If selected, all of the network option windows will be presented as the network is opened regardless of whether the Skip this Prompt option had been previously selected.

New Network Creates and opens a new LonMaker network design consisting of a new LNS database and a new LonMaker drawing. See Creating a LonMaker Network for details.

Open Network Opens the LonMaker drawing and associated LNS network database specified by the LonMaker drawing selected in the Drawing Name field. The Database Name field is ignored by this operation. See Opening an Existing LonMaker Network for details.

Drawing Name field, making a copy of the network

drawings and the associated LNS network database. This copy is created like a new network. (You will be prompted to choose a new top-level drawing name and database path. The Database Name field is ignored by this operation. See Opening a Copy of an Existing LonMaker Network for details). Delete Deletes the LonMaker drawing specified in the Drawing

Name field and the LNS network database specified in Database Name. To delete only one, specify <none> in the field you wish to keep.

Defragment Database Defragments and recreates the index for the LonMaker database specified in Database Name. This can reduce the size of and decrease the access time to a LonMaker database that has grown in size due to many changes. Backup the database before defragmenting it in case of an error while defragmenting.

Launch LNS Server Starts the LNS Server so that remote client computers can access the LNS network database. See Using the LonMaker Tool Remotely for more information.

Backup Backs up the LonMaker drawing specified in the Drawing Name field and the LNS network database specified in Database Name. See Backing Up a LonMaker Network for more information.

Restore Restores a LonMaker drawing and LNS network database from a LonMaker backup file. See Restoring a LonMaker Network for more information.

Drawing Base Path Determines the directory that will be used by the Drawing Directory list. All of the subdirectories in this directory will be listed in the Drawing Directory list. You may type in a new pathname or select one using the Browse button.

Exit Closes the LonMaker Design Manager. This does not close Visio or any open networks. To automatically exit the Design Manager after opening a LonMaker drawing, click the Options tab and select the Exit Design Manager After Launching Visio checkbox.

The LonMaker Design Manager’s Options tab (shown below) allows you to set a prioritized list of languages for LONMARK resource files and select the LonMaker template for new networks. When the LonMaker tool displays documentation for selected devices, functional blocks, and network variables, it uses the definitions contained in LONMARK resource files. You can display the LONMARK resource file information in different languages by specifying a prioritized list of languages for LONMARK resource files in the LonMaker tool.

You can set the resource file language for a specific network while in the LonMaker tool by selecting the Resource File Language tab in Network Properties for that network. To set the resource file language globally for new networks, select the Options tab in the LonMaker Design Manager:

The LonMaker Design Manager’s Options tab contains the following fields and buttons:

Set LONMARK Resource Files

Languages Allows available language-specific L

ONMARK resource files to be added, removed, or reordered in the languages list. When searching for a definition, the LonMaker tool searches the first language file in the list for the device information, then the second language file in the list, and so on, until it finds the information for the specified device. If no match is found and the device information is found in the corresponding U.S. English file, the English text will be used to display the information. U.S. English is the default language and cannot be removed from the list. The language-specific LONMARK resource files added to the list must be installed and available to the LonMaker tool. Usually they will have been installed if available and you click Add to add them to the list. If you do not see language resource files you expected to see when you click Add, you can install them. To install those resource files, click Start, highlight Echelon LNS Utilities, select the LNS Resource File Utility, and follow the prompts.

Languages Lists the languages in the order they will be searched for device information.

Move Up Moves the selected language up one position in the list.

list.

Remove Removes the selected language from the list. Add Adds a language to the end of the list.

Template for New Networks Specifies the LonMaker template for subsequent new networks that you create. The template is an empty LonMaker drawing that specifies a default drawing background, styles, stencils, and other LonMaker settings. The list contains the available LonMaker templates. The default templates are the following: LONWORKS – the initial default template used for new networks. It uses U.S. measurement units. LONDemo – the template used to create a

demonstration network (number of devices is limited to six and LonMaker credits are not used when commissioning devices).

LONWORKSMetric – a template that uses metric

measurement units for drawing pages.

Any custom LonMaker templates installed in the template directory also appear in the list. Exit Design Manager after

Launching Visio Selecting this option automatically closes the LonMaker Design Manager after launching Visio. Apply Saves the changes that you make in this window. The

Apply button is enabled only when an option has been changed.
