ZCL Advanced Platform (ZAP) User's Guide#

NOTE: This section replaces AN1325: ZCL Advanced Platform (ZAP) User's Guide. Further updates to this application note will be provided here.

ZAP is an advanced configuration tool within Simplicity Studio that allows the developer to manage Zigbee endpoints, clusters and commands implemented by their device. ZAP works in concert with the Zigbee Application Framework to generate code for setting up the endpoints, clusters, attributes, and commands that constitute a Zigbee application. ZAP, which is also used in Matter configuration, is known as the Zigbee Cluster Configurator (ZCL) in the Zigbee context.
