Before programming in OpenSCADA, you must examine the object structure of the program (Object Model) in [[Special:MyLanguage/Documents/Program_manual|OpenSCADA Program Manual]] and in Figure 1.

<!--T:36-->
[[File:oscada_UserOM.png|center|frame|Fig. 1. User object model of the core OpenSCADA.]]
<!--[[File:oscada_UserOM.png|center|thumb|800px|Fig. 1. User object model of the core OpenSCADA.]]-->

<!--T:38-->
From the document you will see that you can program next parts of OpenSCADA as the user:
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Documents/DAQ#Virtual|Logical level sources of the subsystem "DAQ"]].
* Transport protocols allowed for user programming that is: [[Special:MyLanguage/Modules/UserProtocol|User protocol]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Modules/ModBus|ModBus nodes of the type "Data"]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Modules/WebUser|Web-interfaces from the user]], ...
* [[Special:MyLanguage/Modules/VCAEngine|Visual Control Area (VCA)]] in procedures of the widgets.

<!--T:3-->
User programming API is the tree of the OpenSCADA objects (Fig.1), every object of which can provide own list of properties and functions. Properties and functions of the objects can be used by the user in procedures on the languages of the user programming of OpenSCADA.

<!--T:4-->
Currently OpenSCADA provides only one language of the text programming — [[#JavaLikeCalc|JavaLikeCalc]] then you must learn it also before the starting! The entry point for access to the objects of OpenSCADA (Fig.1) from the user programming language JavaLikeCalc is the reserved word "SYS" of the root OpenSCADA object. For example, to access the function of output transport you should write: '''SYS.Transport.Serial.out_ModBus.messIO(mess);'''.

<!--T:5-->
API of the objects provided by the modules is described in the own documentation of the modules and here links to their are provided.

=== {{Anch|Array|Array object}} === <!--T:7-->
Peculiarity of the array is that it works with the properties like with the indexes, and complete their naming if senseless, and hence the mechanism of addressing is available only by the conclusion of the index in square brackets "'''arr[1]'''". Array stores the properties in its own container of one-dimensional array. Digital properties of the array are used to access directly to the array, and the character ones work as the object properties.

<!--T:8-->
Array provides the special property "length" to get the array size "'''var = arr.length;'''". Also array provides the following functions:
* ''string join( string sep = "," )'', ''string toString( string sep = "," )'', ''string valueOf( string sep = "," )'' — returns the string with the array elements separated by ''sep'' or the character ','.
* ''Array concat( Array arr );'' — adds to the initial array the elements of the ''arr'' array. Returns the initial array with changes.
* ''int push( ElTp var, ... );'' — places the element(s) ''var'' to the end of the array, as to the stack. Returns the new array size.
* ''ElTp pop( );'' — deletes of the last element of the array and returns of its value, as from the stack.
* ''Array reverse( );'' — changes the order of the elements of the array. Returns the initial array with the changes.
* ''ElTp shift( );'' — shifts of the array to the top. The first element is removed and its value is returned.
* ''int unshift( ElTp var, ... );'' — shifts element(s) ''var'' to the array. The first element to the 0, second to the 1 and so on.
* ''Array slice( int beg, int end );'' — returns an array fragment from ''beg'' to ''end'' (exclude). If the value of beginning or end is negative, then the count is made from the end of the array. If the end is not specified, then the end is the end of the array.
* ''Array splice( int beg, int remN, ElTp val1, ElTp val2, ... );'' — inserts, deletes or replaces the elements of the array. Returns the removed elements array. Firstly it is made the removing of elements from the position ''beg'' and in the quantity of ''remN'', and then the values ''val1'' are inserted and so on, beginning from the position ''beg''.
* ''int indexOf( ElTp var, int start = 0 );'' — returns the array index of the required variable ''var'' in the original row from the position ''start''. If the initial position is not specified then the search starts from the beginning. If the search variable is not found then "-1" is returned.
* ''int lastIndexOf( ElTp var, int start = {end} );'' — returns the array index of the required variable ''var'' in the original row from the position ''start'' when searching from the end. If the initial position is not specified then the search begins from the end. If the search variable is not found then "-1" is returned.
* ''double sum(int beg, int end);'' — sum of the array values part from the position ''beg'' to ''end'', excluding.
* ''Array sort( );'' — sorts array elements in the lexicographical order.

=== {{Anch|RegExp|RegExp object}} === <!--T:9-->
Object of work with the regular expressions, based on the library PCRE. In the global search sets object attribute "lastIndex", which allows you to continue the searching at the next function call. In the case of an unsuccessful search the attribute "lastIndex" resets to zero.

<!--T:10-->
As arguments for creating the object, a string with regular expression text and a flags box in the form of a character string is passed:
* 'g' — global match mode;
* 'i' — case insensitive match mode;
* 'm' — multi-line match mode;
* 'u' — compulsion for UTF-8 characters resolution, for other locales;
* 'p' — testing the expression by the usual template rule with the key characters: '?', '*' and '\'.

<!--T:11-->
Object properties:
* ''source'' — original pattern of the regular expression, read-only.
* ''global'' — flag of the global matching, read-only.
* ''ignoreCase'' — flag of disabling of the case sensitivity, read-only.
* ''multiline'' — flag of the multiline searching, read-only.
* ''UTF8'' — flag of using UTF-8 characters, read-only.
* ''lastIndex'' — index of a character of the substring from the last search. Used in the global mode to continue the match, at next call.

<!--T:12-->
Object functions:
<ul>
<li>''Array exec( string val );'' — calls match for string ''val''. Returns found sub-string (0) and sub-expressions (>0) in the array. Sets attribute "index" of the array to the matched substring position. Sets the attribute "input" of the array to the source string.

<ul>
<li>''ElTp cfg( string nm )'' — gets the value of the configuration field ''nm'' of the object.</li>
<li>''bool cfgSet( string nm, ElTp val )'' [<span style='color:red'>access to the appropriate subsystem</span>] — sets the configuration field ''nm'' of the object to the value ''val''.</li>
<li>''string status()'' — string status of the transport.</li>
<li>''bool start( bool vl = EVAL, int tm = 0 )'' — returns the transport status "Running", starts/stops it by ''vl'' (if it is not EVAL). For starting you can set the specific timeout ''tm''.</li>
<li>''string addr( string vl = "" )'' — address of the transport, sets the non-empty value ''vl''.</li>
<li>''string timings( string vl = "" )'' — timings of the transport, sets the non-empty value ''vl''.</li>
<li>''int attempts( int vl = EVAL )'' — attempts of the transport connection, sets the non-EVAL value ''vl''.</li>
<li>''string messIO( string mess, real timeOut = 0, int inBufLen = -1 );'' — sends the message ''mess'' via the transport with the waiting time of the response ''timeOut'' (in seconds) and reads an response (Buffer) in ''inBufLen'' byte. In the case of a zero timeout, this time is taken from the settings of the output transport. The ''timeOut'' in negative (< -1e-3) disables the transport request/respond mode and allows for independent reading/writing to a buffer IO, with the reading timeout ''timeOut'' in absolute. For negative ''inBufLen'' the buffer size sets to STR_BUF_LEN(10000) and "0" disables the reading at all.<br/>
[[File:at.png]] If your transport means getting data in parts for a request then for several devices on single bus-transport, use the function into single thread but there is not a way to lock the transport into the user API. Single thread that is any object of controller of DAQ and [[Special:MyLanguage/Modules/UserProtocol|the module "User protocol"]] locks the transport internally before self user procedures execution.
