Install the Sedona Workbench software

The Sedona Workbench provides a graphical engineering interface and programming environment for building and testing Sedona applications, including tools that you use with the Sedona Dev Board.

NoteThe Sedona Workbench is a profiled subset of the NiagaraAX Workbench—if you already have a licensed copy of NiagaraAX Workbench 3.4.52 or later installed, and you want to run everything from a single release directory, you can skip ahead to the next procedure to install the sedona subfolder under your current Niagara release.

Installing Sedona Workbench software

  1. Close all open applications.

  2. Insert the Sedona Dev Board Kit Installation CD into the PC’s CD drive.

  3. If the autorun feature is enabled on the PC, the Installation dialog box automatically appears.

    If the autorun feature is not enabled on the PC:

    1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the root of the CD drive.

    2. Double-click the Sedona-Workbench-Jennic.exe file.

  4. Click Next to begin the install process.

  5. In the License Agreement step, carefully read the software licensing agreement, then click Yes to agree to it, then click Next.

  6. In the Select Destination Location step, specify the target installation folder. By default, the destination folder is C:\Program Files\Sedona-Workbench

    TipThe free disk space requirement appears at the bottom of the dialog. You can Browse to another drive or location and/or name another folder, if desired.

  7. After specifying your destination folder, click Next.

  8. In the Select Start Menu Folder step, select the folder where Windows shortcuts will be installed. By default a new folder Sedona-Workbench is created. You can rename this folder, or Browse to specify an existing folder for shortcuts.

    Click Next to continue.

  9. In the Ready to Install step, a summary of installation settings is listed for review.

    Click Back if needed to change a setting, or click Install to continue with the installation,

  10. Files are installed to your destination folder as a progress bar displays.

    When all files are installed, a Finish Install dialog appears.

  11. In the Finish Install dialog, click Finish to finish the installation.

    Installation of all needed software is now complete.

Installing Sedona in an existing NiagaraAX Workbench 3.4.52 or later

NoteNiagaraAX build 3.4.52 or later is required to support the Sedona Developer Kit.In addition, your Workbench PC’s license file will require the “jennic” feature in order to use the wireless USB adapter that is included in the Sedona Developer Kit.

  1. Close the NiagaraAX Workbench, if already open.

  2. Open the Sedona Dev Board Kit Installation CD in Windows Explorer, and navigate to the root folder.

  3. Copy the sedona subfolder to the Windows clipboard.

  4. Navigate to the root of your Niagara release directory, and paste the copied sedona subfolder there.

    NoteIf desired, you can add Windows shortcuts to start NiagaraAX Workbench profiled as “Sedona Workbench”, which provides only Sedona-related menu options. Started in this mode, items for working with Niagara stations and platforms will be absent, but the general operation of Workbench will be similar—for example: the nav tree, property sheet and wire sheet views, palettes, and so on.To create these Sedona profile(s) on your NiagaraAX Workbench:

    1. In the Windows Start menu, highlight the Programs menu group for the Niagara release.

      For example, Start->Programs->Niagara AX 3.4.52

    2. Right-click this group and select Explore.

      A Windows Explorer window opens showing the existing start menu shortcuts.

    3. Copy and re-paste the existing shortcuts for both Workbench and Workbench (Console).

      Each will be named “Copy of name”.

    4. Right-click the “Copy of Workbench” shortcut and select Properties.

    5. In the “Target” field, append the profile text below at the end of the existing target path.

       -profile:nsedona:SedonaWbProfile

      For example, change from:

      D:\niagara\Niagara-3.4.52\bin\wb_w.exe

       to

      D:\niagara\Niagara-3.4.52\bin\wb_w.exe -profile:nsedona:SedonaWbProfile

    6. Click OK to close the properties dialog, and rename the shortcut to “Sedona Workbench”.

    7. Repeat this same properties edit for the “Copy of Workbench (Console)” shortcut, appending the same text at the end of its existing target path.

      Rename this shortcut to “Sedona Workbench (Console)”.

    When you start Workbench using one of these shortcuts, you will see the same interface as if you installed Sedona Workbench separately.
