8.6 Programming the device
8.6.1 Starting SICK AppStudio
Before starting SICK AppStudio:
•
Make sure that the network communication settings are correct (see "Network
communication settings", page 42).
•
When starting SICK AppStudio for the first time, a license dialog opens. To be able
to use the software, make sure to have a valid license available (see "Computer
software", page 41).
8.6.2 Lua scripting
The embeddable scripting language Lua is used to create scripts in SICK AppStudio.
See www.lua.org for more information about Lua.
8.6.3 Programming API
SICK AppSpace has a large application programming interface (API) which includes
algorithms and functionality for hardware configuration, result processing, and result
communication. The API consists of functional groups called crowns, where each crown
contains functions and events related to a specific topic.
The complete API documentation for each firmware release is available in the SICK
Support Portal, supportportal.sick.com.
NOTE
The API is directly accessible from SICK AppStudio. To access it, click a free place in a
lua file and press Ctrl+Space to display a list of all accessible functions and commands
for the device.
8.6.4 Tutorials and code samples
Tutorials and code samples for general and device-specific topics are available to help
the user get started with the programming of the device:
•
Tutorials are available from the SICK Support Portal: supportpor‐
tal.sick.com/pages/appspace/documentation-and-more.
•
Code samples are available from Gitlab: gitlab.com/sick-appspace/samples.
The above pages can be accessed directly from the Help menu in SICK AppStudio.
8.7 MicroSD memory card
MicroSD memory card
The device has a card slot for a microSD memory card integrated in the housing. The
memory card is used as an external storage medium. The microSD memory card can
also be ordered as an optional accessory. To ensure that the memory card functions
reliably, only use card types (industrial standard) approved by SICK.
