About installing device simulator platform archives

Install device simulator platform archives using the Sedona Installer tool in Workbench, making sure to select the Import Sedona environment files option rather than “TXS Bundle”. Once you have installed a device simulator platform archive, you can begin using the Device Simulator tool.

NoteIf you are using a Niagara installation of Workbench that does not include Sedona, you will have to install Sedona Framework TXS-1.2 first before you can install individual files. Any 1.2 or later version of Sedona should be sufficient to enable the Import Sedona environment files option.
