Whenever using lnml files made by the Lon Xml Tool, you must preserve the name/subdirectory structure in order to be useful to Workbench. This is particularly important for any lnml file that compiled with a “datatypes” subdirectory. Be sure to move its datatypes subdirectory (and contents) along with any “device” lnml file.

Note that a “device” lnml file is given a name derived from the xif file, and its datatype lnml file(s) are given names derived from the resource files. For example, a lnml file created with source files:

Will have a file name and subdirectory structure like this:

ON2290D.lnml, with subdirectory \ file:    datatypes\compwell.lnml
