Introduction to PSL — Getting Started Examples

The PSL development editor is the application for creating, running and maintaining PSL projects.

The workspace

The editor uses a multiple document interface (MDI), so you can work on several PSL projects at once. Each project opens in its own window, or view, inside the main application window. Click a view to switch to it. Menus and toolbars live on the main window rather than on each view.

Load the examples

The best place to start is the built-in examples.

1. Open Help › Examples.
2. Click File Path and choose where the examples should go. PSL creates an Examples subfolder there.
3. Choose between Project and Program examples. Each has a description.

Run an example

• Project examples: load the project and click the airplane button (run project) on the toolbar.
• Program examples: they open in a view window. Click the red R button to run.

Before any serious PSL work, read at least the first three PSL primers. They cover the fundamentals of every PSL application.
