Overview

An LTPDA Workbench is a collection of pipelines. Each pipeline can have sub-pipelines which are represented as subsystem blocks on the parent canvas. Nested subsystems are supported to any depth.

Only one LTPDA Workbench can be open at any one time, but a collection of pipelines in a workbench saved on disk can be imported to the current workbench.

Each block/element must have a unique name on a particular canvas.

The following annotated screen-shot describes the main elements of the workbench interface:
Workbench Overview

Starting the Workbench

To start the LTPDA Workbench, click on the launcher on the LTPDA Launch Bay. Alternatively, the workbench can be started from the command window by typing: 

      >> LTPDAworkbench

You can also get a handle to the workbench so that you can use the programmatic interface. To do that 

      >> wb = LTPDAworkbench
If you loose the variable wb, for example, by using the clear command, then you can retrieve a handle to the workbench by doing 
      >> wb = getappdata(0, 'LTPDAworkbench');
More advanced uses of the workbench command interface (such as creating pipelines from LTPDA objects), are described in Building pipelines programatically.
