5 Applications
Starting with SXD System 7.2, the DAX/2 supports custom user applications written in native LSL. These can be accessed

Important
: Many third-party user applications exist, and while Nanite Systems encourages and supports experimentation
with these creations, owners should be aware that not all of them are necessarily written by individuals or organizations
with the best intentions. Before installing software on your DAX/2, it is important to ensure that you completely trust the
software provider. Nanite Systems cannot guarantee the safety of programs acquired from third-party sources, nor provide
support for them.
Creating new applications
Consult the SXD System 8 SDK for information and sample code for developing custom applications. The standard distribu-
tion of SXD System 8 includes an application called “Hello World” which you may find useful as a template, as well as de-
veloper notes concerning many of the core features.
