RF60X-SDK a Software Development Kit that allows specialists to create their own software for working with laser scanners RF60X (RF603,RF603HS, RF603B) series manufactured by RIFTEK LLC.
The RF60X-SDK consists of two parts:
- RF60X-CORE - the main library («Core») with a basic set of functions and types for working with laser scanners of the RF60X series. The library is written in the C programming language in accordance with the C99 standard (ISO/IEC 9899:1999) and is crossplatform. To use this library, it is necessary to implement platform-dependent functions (working with memory, working with the network, input/output functions).
- RF60X-WRAPPERS - «wrapper»-libraries, in which platform-dependent «Core» functions for a specific platform are already implemented. The use of wrapper libraries simplifies the process of developing applications in the following programming languages: C++, С#, LabVew. The wrapper for .Net is written using the C++/CLI programming language from Microsoft.



### GETTING STARTED
Developers who want to use ready-made RF60X-SDK libraries when creating their own applications for working with laser scanners of the RF60X series can download the latest libraries (download the RF60X-SDK libraries for C, C++, C#), as well as see examples of their use (see Examples for C/C++, Examples for C#).
Developers who prefer to compile RF60X-SDK libraries from sources, the manual contains instructions for downloading sources (see Download project) and installing the necessary software.
Download project

<!---
For developers who want to download the library from source using the Git-client, follow these instructions:
1. Install the git-client on your local computer (if not already installed):
- On Linux, use the terminal command: sudo apt install git 
- On MacOS, use the terminal command: brew install git 
- For other platforms see git installation documentation.
-->

1. Open a command prompt/terminal on your computer:
<!-- - On Linux, click on the launchpad and look for «terminal» terminal 
- In OS X, press commandspace and find «terminal» terminal 
- On Windows, click the Start menu and find the «command line» cmd. -->

2. Download the project:

```bash
git clone https://corp.riftek.com/gitlab/rfsdk60x/sdk/rf60x-sdk.git
cd RF60X-SDK
```
##### 3. Select the right SDK version:
* For work with RF60X scanners:
```bash
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
We recommend to use a git client for downloading and Qt Creator for project building 

### Running SDK examples
Here a basic example how to use method for searching RF60X devices in different languages by different ways.\
You can create a new project yourself or you can just open an existing project example and build it.

#### Running a C/C++ example
##### 1) Open and compile examples project in **Qt Creator**:  
*  Load the CMakeLists.txt file from the **example/Cpp/RF60X_UART_Measure** or another example
folder via **File > Open File or Project** (Select the CMakeLists.txt file)
*  Select compiler (MinGW, MSVC2017 or higher, Clang, etc..) and click **Configure Project**
*  Compile and Run it
##### 2) Create project and compile examples in **Visual studio 2017 and higher**:  
*  Being in the folder **eexample/Cpp/RF60X_UART_Measure** or another example enter the following command 
into the console (terminal):  
```bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
```
*  Open the resulting RF60X.sln solution in Visual Studio
*  Compile and Run it

#### Running a C# example
##### Open and compile examples project in **Visual Studio 2017 or higher**:  
*  Open **RF60X_UART_Measure.csproj** from the **example/DotNet/RF60X_UART_Measure**  or another example folder with Visual Studio
*  Select **x64 Debug** or **x64 Release** target platform
*  Add the **rf60XsdkNet.dll** C# WRAPPER library to project's **references** 
*  Copy the **rf60Xcore.dll** (see RF60X CORE table from [RF60X-SDK libraries](#https://corp.riftek.com/gitlab/rfsdk60x/sdk/rf60x-sdk) link) into the path of the project executable (**../bin/x64/Debug/** or **../bin/x64/Release/**)
*  Compile project

## COMPILING RF60X-SDK
### CORE LIBRARY
RF60XX CORE is the main library with basic functionality for work with scanners and platform dependent methods (such as memory, network, output/input methods, etc.) requiring initialization.
This library was written in C programming language in accordance with C99 Sdandart (ISO/IEC 9899:1999).

RF60X CORE can be built on the console or in an IDE.\
Firstly, you should download the project (if you have already done it, skip next commands)

```bash
git clone https://corp.riftek.com/gitlab/rfsdk60x/sdk/rf60x-sdk.git
cd RF60X-SDK

* For work with RF60X scanners:
```bash
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
