1.


I'm just entering the ACS domain


Is there any updated manual ?
the Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL) page
looks to be not up to date



Examples



1. To start the code editor, select Analysis >> New/Open Advanced Custom Studies File
I'm trying to open a studyxxx.cpp file …. doesn't work
the following response is issued in log

You will see two lines at the top of every custom studies source code file: #include <sierrachart.h > and CustomDLLName("My Custom Studies"). These are both required and just need to be in the file only once and at the top.

Is incorrect

How can I rely on the stuff at yr site ?

"There was an error starting the Advanced Custom Studies editor. E:\SierraChart\NPP\notepad++.exe "E:\Sierra\ACS_Source\studies2.cpp". Windows error code 2: The system cannot find the file specified. | 2016-12-21 04:54:41 *
"

What does this message means ?

All documentation on this website is up-to-date.

This is absolutely correct. These lines are required. Not every source code file that is provided with Sierra Chart, will have the CustomDLLName because it only needs to be included in one file when compiling multiple files. But if you are compiling the file individually, it must be included.

2. Does this file exist on your system?: E:\SierraChart\NPP\notepad++.exe

Therefore, we do not know why your operating system is giving that error message:
" Windows error code 2: The system cannot find the file specified."

Our other users do not experience this.


Just manually start the editor and edit the file you want. There is no need to do it through Sierra Chart.
