python scripting (macro functionality) is the way to go.

Simplest way to get started is:
open gui
tools->Start Trace
do something in the gui
tools->Stop Trace
save that to filename.py
then from command prompt: "pvbatch filename.py"

See the documentation and tutorials for much more information.

Hello all,


I have a question regarding the component pipeline.

Is there an easy way to build this pipeline 'offline', i.e. not using the GUI, but by some third party code?


Stuff I have tried:

- I tried reverse-engineering the .pvsm state files, which seem to do exactly what I want, but without any specification describing them, this seems too tedious a  task. With some docs for the state file composition this would be my favored m.o.,i.e. being able to manually write state files.

- A colleague of mine also suggested using the python macro functionality, I have yet to look into that though.


Maybe there is an even better option I didn't think of.


Any advice would be great, thanks in advance!


BR,

Oliver
