Open Spyder Library

Macros, Applications and Devices that you create can be stored in a library for being reused in another project or scenario. You can create libraries based on your requirement and store them. You can then import selected items of libraries in the station (in LonNetwork or BacnetNetwork or Device Logic).

There is a default library shipped by Honeywell. However, you can create and save your own libraries containing macros, applications and or devices. Such user defined libraries can be modified, saved and shared across projects or across users.

To open a user-created library:

  1. Click the options button on the library palette to get a list and select Select Parent Folder.
    The Advance Options dialog box appears.
  2. Click the browse button on the right side of the Advance Options dialog box and select a destination folder where the library you have stored is located. The Directory Chooser dialog box appears.
  3. Browse through to the location where you have stored your library files and select Choose.
  4. Select the Save as default parent path option if you want to make this folder the default folder for future use.
    The libraries available in the default parent folder path are displayed when workbench is restarted. On subsequent uses, the libraries available in the last selected parent folder path are listed.
  5. The contents of the library are displayed in the library palette. Also, the path where the library files are stored is also displayed in field next to options in the library palette.

Note: If you have multiple libraries stored at a location, use the down arrow next to the field displaying the library path and select the library you want to open.

Note: The parent folder path selected in a workbench is not applicable when the library is opened from a browser. The parent folder selected in the browser is applicable only when the library is opened from a browser and is not reflected when the library is opened from a workbench.

Close Spyder Library

Click the the down arrow on the menu bar of the Spyder Library palette and click Close Library to close the library palette.

Note: The default library cannot be closed.
