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.
The 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 in an existing NiagaraAX Workbench 3.4.52 or later
NiagaraAX 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.
Close the NiagaraAX Workbench, if already open.
Open the Sedona Dev Board Kit Installation CD in Windows Explorer, and navigate to the root folder.
Copy the sedona
subfolder to the Windows clipboard.
Navigate to the root of your Niagara release directory, and paste the copied sedona
subfolder there.
If 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:
In the Windows Start menu, highlight the Programs menu group for the Niagara release.
For example,
-> ->Right-click this group and select Explore.
A Windows Explorer window opens showing the existing start menu shortcuts.
Copy and re-paste the existing shortcuts for both Workbench and Workbench (Console).
Each will be named “Copy of name
”.
Right-click the “Copy of Workbench” shortcut and select Properties.
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
Click OK to close the properties dialog, and rename the shortcut to “Sedona Workbench”.
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)”.
