Issue
When having issues with a specific NCI (SCPT or UCPT) in a XIF file it can be hard to understand the FILE definition in the XIF file in order to troubleshoot a given issue
For information regarding NCI's that are not part of a FILE definition, refer to Understanding the NVVAL part of a XIF file

Environment
- LonWorks
- XIF
Cause
The FILE definition can be somewhat cryptic - here is an example
FILE template 0 2 "1.1;" "2,23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30.31.32.33.34.35.36.37.41.42.43.45.46,0\x80,49,2;" "1,1,0\x80,60,12;" "1,1,0\x80,52,2;" "2,0.2.3.5.6.7.8.9.10.16.17.18.19.20.21,0\x80,48,2;" "1,0,0\x80,17,31;" "1,1,0\x80,34,2;" "1,1,0\x80,23,2;" "1,1,0\xA4,169,1;" "1,1,4\x80,3,8;" "1,1,4\x80,5,17;" "1,1,3\x80,1,2;" "1,1,4\x80,4,9;" "1,1,4\xA4,13,1;" "1,1,4\xA4,14,1;" "1,1,4\xA4,15,1;" "1,1,4\xA4,16,1;" "1,1,4\xA4,17,1;" "1,1,4\x80,18,1;" "1,1,0\x80,42,2;" "1,1,0\x80,36,2;" "1,1,0\x80,193,2;" "1,1,4\x80,8,2;" "1,0,3\x80,2,2;" "1,0,0\x84,165,1;" "1,0,0\xA4,166,1;" "1,1,6\xA4,2,8;" FILE value 1 1 116 0x0B, 0xB8, 0x09, 0x1D, 0x09, 0xFB, 0x0B, 0x80, 0x08, 0x77, 0x07, 0x98, 0x06, 0x13, 0x00, 0x02, 0x23, 0x28, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x78, 0x7F, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x80, 0x80, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x7F, 0xFF, 0x7F, 0xFF, 0x13, 0x88, 0x00, 0x00, 0x02, 0x0B, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
Resolution
The FILE section describes the configuration variables (or SCPT's and UCPT's) for a device.
Here is an explanation of the various parts of the FILE section.
