Developing FDI Device Packages
This self-paced online course introduces the FDI tool suite for EDD Developers to learn how to install, use, build, and test their new FDI Device Packages. Developers with existing knowledge of the EDD Language and pertinent details of their field instrument would benefit from this course. Protocol used in the course is HART, however many of the lessons apply to any of our supported protocols. Developing FDI Device Packages Course materials are provided in English, with versions available with caption support for Chinese and Japanese.
Device developers who are learning how to use the FDI Device Package Integrated Development Environment (FDI IDE) who are familiar with EDDL and the functions and features of their product are the ideal students for this self-paced online course.
