up the DD on your system. Note the folder where the decompressed files are placed. This information will be
required later in the installation procedure.
Note
This procedure will install the necessary Device Description files (*.ffo and *.sym), and Capabilities file (*.cff) for the device.
1. Locate or create the folder on the host system to contain all the DD and capabilities files.
If you are creating a folder, you can name this new folder whatever you would like and it can have any path you define.
For this installation procedure, this folder will be referred to as the base folder.
2. On the CD‐ROM or in the website download files, locate the folder with the new support files. This folder is called
\RELEASE.
3. Open this folder and select the folder named 005100.
4. Copy the 005100 folder (and all its subfolders) from the CD‐ROM or website download location to the base folder.
If this is an update (the folders already exist), the system informs you that the folders already exist and asks if they
should be replaced. Answer Yes or OK so the folders are properly updated.
5. The new support files are now installed. You may have to restart applications and drivers in order for the new files to
become active.
DD installation is complete. Consult the system documentation for commissioning new devices or updating existing
devices.

The DD in Use method is included with the device description (DD) software. For information on using methods, see
the host system documentation.
DD in Use displays the version number displayed in the format: device type.device revision.DD revision.
This method is available via the resource block.
