Have fun trying to find them in there, unless you're a linux CLI junkie. (Hint: use grep.)

For the rest of us non-Linux folks:

How to find Sierra Chart Study source code if available (Not all studies have their source code available):

1. First determine the study function name by looking at the DLLName.FunctionName field in the study settings: e.g. scsf_CountDownTimer. If there is no DLLName.FunctionName field then the source code is not available.
2. In Notepad++ (C:\SierraChart\NPP\notepad++.exe) Search >> Find in Files (Ctrl+Shift+F)
3. Enter the function name in the Find What box
4. Filters: *.cpp
5. Directory: c:\SierraChart\ACS_Source
6. Click Find All

A list of all the locations of that text will show up, the one in the studies*.cpp files are the originals.
