Course Description
LightTools supports an Application Programming Interface (API) to combine the LightTools functionality with other external applications. The API allows you to incorporate analysis from other tools, and to develop your own utilities with a Windows-standard look and feel.
In this online short course, you will learn how you can create your own macros to interface with other tools using the LightTools API.
This course assumes you have familiarity with LightTools, and access to MATLAB, Python, or Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA, provided with Microsoft Excel)
This course will include how to:
- Get started with the LightTools API using MATLAB, Python, or Microsoft VBA
- Write your own macros to automate your design flow
- Exchange data with LightTools using COM/.NET
- Understand the LightTools data access process
