genie_python and IBEX (Getting started)

Starting a scripting session

From IBEX

The best way to run genie_python commands is from the scripting perspective of the IBEX client.

To open a scripting window:

1. Start the IBEX client
2. Open the scripting perspective

3. From here, you can start entering Python code. It will be executed line by line as you enter it.

Outside IBEX

You can also open a scripting terminal by running C:\Instrument\Apps\Python\genie_python.bat but this is recommended for advanced users only.

Exercise 1
