This document is a technical note on using Analog Devices DSPs, processors, and development tools. It provides an introduction to scripting in VisualDSP++®. Scripting is a powerful and flexible tool that can be used to extend and customize the built-in capabilities of the IDDE or to automate repetitive tasks. It is ideal for non-interactive scripting needs such as accessing DSP resources, performing repetitive tasks, or running full-blown regression tests.
This document serves as an introduction to scripting within the VisualDSP++ 3.5 Integrated Development Environment (IDDE). It explains how to use the language-independent scripting host to automate repetitive tasks, access DSP resources, and run regression tests. The note details the supported scripting languages, VBScript and JScript, and describes the VisualDSP++ Automation API which allows scripts to control the IDE.
The officially supported languages are VBScript and JScript.
Create a shortcut to Idde.exe and add the -f parameter followed by the script file name to the Target field.
It is considered global code and executes immediately after the script is loaded.
