Welcome to the Lucid quick guide

The key areas of the Lucid are:

Function Block Library
→Find logical operators and pre-built function blocks to build your app with.
Application Workspace
→This is where you build your projects by dropping library blocks and wiring together in event-based sequences and data connections.
Function block parameters
→View your function block before you use it and also input any parameters needed once your function block is in use.
Function Block Specification and Help
→Function block ports and paramters should be carefully described in the help file to avoid guesswork.

Starting a New Project

Giving your project a name and place

Black ports and lines define event flow
→Events can be externally generated or after processing
Data ports and lines are colour coded by their data type
→Numbers can be integer or floating point (real) numbers
→Logic states are often processed in combination with events
→Text and high level objects are represented as data types
