This manual is bundled with SCCalc for offline use and is also published online. It is written for researchers, students, analysts, and instructors who need a reliable desktop workflow for preparing data, running analyses, reviewing results, exporting reports, and automating repeatable work with SCL. Use it as a task guide. It explains the normal path through a project, the checks to run before interpreting output, and the safest way to prepare support examples without exposing confidential data. For command syntax and detailed procedure references, use the in-app SCL Quick Reference and the online Command Reference from the Help menu.
