Resource File
Use the file chooser to select the resource file (for example, PRN, APD, DMO) that matches the actual application loaded in the controller. Use N2 Devices Supported by the JciN2Import Manager to understand which resource file types are supported per N2 device type.
System Library
If a resource file that is not an APD or CAF was selected, this field remains null and a system library is not used.
If APD or CAF type resource file was selected, this field self-populates from information in the resource file.
System of Units
This field is read-only and displays either SI (Metric) or Imperial, as identified in the resource file.
Import Graphic Type
Use this field to select the desired graphic type. Select Kit Px HVAC to select the original Niagara graphic symbols. Select Kit Px Graphics to select the new Niagara graphic symbols released as part of NiagaraAX Release 3.7.
Note: You can set your desired default graphic type selection under the Tools > Options > JCI Options menu item. Note: Standard graphics for legacy controllers (for example, APD and PRN resource files) are only available using the original graphic symbols. Workbench Std Graphic File
Use this field to select a Px graphic file different than the default selection.
Hx Std Graphic File
Use this field to select an Hx graphic file different than the default selection.
System Type
This field is read-only and indicates if a standard system type is defined in resource file.
Use Existing Graphic File
Use this field if you want to reuse (alias) an existing Px graphic associated with another device. If you want to associate the device with an existing Px graphic file, browse to the location of the file and select it. If you do not want to reuse an existing graphic, then leave as null.
Using Existing Hx Graphic File
Use this field if you want to reuse (alias) an existing Hx graphic (iPhone®/iPod Touch® graphic) associated with another device. If you want to associate the device with an existing Hx graphic file, browse to the location of the file and select it. If you do not want to reuse an existing graphic, then leave as null.

Use this field to select whether you want FX Workbench to customize the Action menus for the Boolean points using FX Workbench facets (select true) or not (select false). For example, instead of Active and Inactive, FX Workbench can customize the Action menu to the facets of the point (Override to On and Override to Off).
