The 4diac FORTE source code is available for download as zip-File here.Įxtract the source code to your desired 4diac FORTE source folder, e.g. Within that folder, use subfolders for the code (e.g., ), the built version (e.g., build) and your own modules (e.g., ext_modules). We recommend using a main folder C:/FORTE_dev (in this tutorial, we refer to it as FORTE_FOLDER_ROOT). You need to create a folder where you save all files of your 4diac FORTE.Īgain, the file path should not contain any spaces.

If you want to develop your own Function Blocks or to run 4diac FORTE on control devices, you have to download and set up 4diac FORTE for the specific platform you are using as shown in the next sections. If you want to start using 4diac IDE right away, you can skip the rest of the page and go directly to the step by step tutorial or the Start Here-page. The step by step tutorial will direct you to making a simple application with 4diac IDE and pre-built 4diac FORTE.
