Machine Edition will then check any blocks that have changed. If the build procedure is
successful, it will download the files to the Host Controller. Machine Edition will indicate any
errors or that it has successfully downloaded the program in the Feedback Zone window.
When the programs are downloaded to the host controller, you can interact with the DSM
to verify that the Local Logic program is working correctly. The Reference View Table (RVT)
display can be used for this operation. To create an RVT, right click on the Reference View
Tables folder in the Navigator window and select New from the menu. The new RVT is added
to the project.
