Hi,

 

I have created few small scripts in SimLab  which I execute using  'Project --> Play --> Autoplay'  .

Is it possible to create custom plugins or buttons in SimLab GUI to run scripts?

 

Thanks,

Roshan

    Hi Roshan,

     

    If you use SimLab 14.2 or later, you can create custom windows using Python and Tkinter.

    It is also possible to create your own buttons on the custom Ribbon with Python and XML in SimLab 2017.2.1 or a bit earlier ones. Sorry I'm not exactly sure of the version.
