eLearning 599 Scripting – Python Scripting for Zeiss Applications

Capture all operations performed in the software and save this recording as Python script by using the command recorder. This way, you can execute the commands repeatedly. By editing the recorded script, you can adapt it to other tasks. You can edit or extend these command sequences by additional computations or dialogs.

This training deals with methods to modify and extend scripts by using command results and element selections. Learn how to access the element values of the project, how to create user-defined graphical dialogs as well as how to program advanced dynamic dialogs. You will also get insights to solve script problems. The scripting functionality can be used in all Pro software variants.

To complete this training course, watch the tutorials, download the training data and repeat the demonstrations step-by-step on your own.
