Introduction#

ZAP, also known as the Zigbee Cluster Configurator (ZCL), is a separate tool within Simplicity Studio. It is used to generate code into the Simplicity Studio Zigbee project that is used to define important aspects of the Zigbee application, such as its endpoints, clusters, attributes, attribute storage, and commands. ZCL presents the user interface for managing these aspects of the Zigbee application. If you are familiar with the former Simplicity Studio AppBuilder, you can think of the Zigbee Cluster Configurator as replacing the ZCL tab in that interface.

This document assumes that you have downloaded Simplicity Studio 5 and the Zigbee SDK and are familiar with other aspects of creating and configuring a Zigbee project. If not, see QSG180: Zigbee EmberZNet SDK Quick-Start Guide for SDK 7.x and Higher and the Simplicity Studio v5 User's Guide.
