Example gallery

All examples use the exported SDK. They do not include private application headers. The standard panels require no Qt; the independent ImGui example adds GLFW and OpenGL. Use a disposable project and the supplied synthetic fixtures.

Build the examples

From the extracted SDK, configure the consumer suite:

cmake -S tests -B consumer -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/absolute/sdk -DET_SDK_BUILD_IMGUI=ON
cmake --build consumer
ctest --test-dir consumer --output-on-failure

Each example also has its own CMake project and preset. Follow that example's README: existing service examples use release; the starter and basic examples use sdk with EPICTUNER_SDK_ROOT. Run cmake --list-presets in the example directory to see its configure presets. Keep the extracted SDK directory tree intact: some examples share helpers or vendored sources. See deployment for compiler and renderer dependencies.

Examples

Example	Learn	Acceptance you can reproduce
Hello panels	Controls, bindings, workspace/floating/modal panels, multiple instances	Edit values; focus the singleton; open independent inspectors; close/reopen and restore state
Cascading selects	Dynamic Make/Model/Tune options, empty controls, typed selections and 2 × 12 preview	Choose each level; verify preview; change Make and verify downstream reset; host 0.8.3+
Live telemetry	Channel selection, timestamps/quality, bounded plot, derived RPM/2	Connect Mock ECU; change channels; disconnect/reconnect; observe stale values and gaps
Calibration workbench	Real field/table/curve/surface prefabs, normalized previews and undo	Use synthetic INI; preview/apply; edit manually to invalidate an old proposal; save/reopen; verify RAM separately from burn
Log analyzer	Ranges, background statistics, result table/chart, comparison	The supplied 256-row logs yield means 127.5 and 227.5; cancel and rerun
Fuel analysis	Bounded correction calculation and explicit Apply	Analyze synthetic lambda log; change limits; reject stale previews and absent channels; no automatic burn
Licensed feature	Signed package, free/paid action, activation	Paid action denied before activation; accepted after valid mock online/offline activation
ImGui inspector	Worker-owned custom window and host reads	Render/input, focus, resize, close/reopen, worker-loss recovery
Fault injection	Intentional worker failure and invalid service calls	Host survives crash/hang; flood is bounded; invalid requests fail; restart is explicit

Install through the signed test catalog

The catalog builder takes binaries from that independent consumer build and signs all eight packages with an ephemeral local test key:

python tools/test-catalog.py build --sdk /absolute/sdk --binaries /absolute/consumer --output /absolute/test-catalog
python tools/test-catalog.py verify --catalog /absolute/test-catalog --trusted-key /absolute/test-catalog/publisher.json

The private key is deleted when the builder exits. The catalog contains public trust material, signed packages and hashes. The fault-injection entry is explicitly marked test-only. Review/import the public test publisher in the Plugins manager, then install selected .etplugin files. Never import this generated identity as a production publisher. Catalog verification does not replace the host's independent package verification.

See publishing for the package layout and third-party path. The small lifecycle examples additionally show C, C++ and background-task ABI fundamentals.
