3. Tutorials Resume

This page aims to describe each tutorial easily, indicating the function blocks (FBs) used by the DINASORE, the configuration used in the 4DIAC-IDE, and the PIP dependencies of the FBs. The FBs (Python and FBT files) must be on the folder (dinasore/resources/function_blocks), available for the DINASORE runtime environment. The 4DIAC-IDE allows the import of external configuration using the option File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace, selecting the project root folder. The PIP dependencies of each tutorial must be installed in the same machine that executes the DINASORE.
