Programmer Guide

This manual is dedicated to experienced STx users and to all people who want to implement signal processing algorithms or signal (sound) management applications using the STx development environment and programming features. It describes the internal structure of STx and the STx (script-) programming languange.

STx implements a powerful scripting language and a signal processing language. This document will try to give you the necessary information to program your own applications.

Scripts can be used to implement ...

• simple processing lists, calling standard STx signal processing applications
• signal processing applications (like the Spectrogram & Parameters Viewer)
• complex database operations on the STx DataSet
• in fact, everything you see in STx can be programmed in the scripting language

The term script is a synonym for an application implemented using one or more STx macros, classes and SPU's, and executed by the script controller application BScript.
