41 <h2> Overview </h2>
42
43 <p>
44 An LTPDA Workbench is a collection of pipelines. Each pipeline can have sub-pipelines
45 which are represented as <i>subsystem blocks</i> on the parent canvas. Nested subsystems
46 are supported to any depth. </p>
47 <p>
48 Only one LTPDA Workbench can be open at any one time, but a collection of pipelines
49 in a workbench saved on disk can be imported to the current workbench.
50 </p>
51 <p>
52 Each block/element must have a unique name on a particular canvas.
53 </p>
54 <p>
55 The following annotated screen-shot describes the main elements of the workbench
56 interface:

62 <h2> Starting the Workbench </h2>
63
64 <p>
65 To start the LTPDA Workbench, click on the launcher on the LTPDA Launch Bay. Alternatively,
66 the workbench can be started from the command window by typing:
67 <div class="fragment"><pre>
68 >> LTPDAworkbench
69 </pre></div>
70 </p>
71 <p>
72 You can also get a handle to the workbench so that you can use the programmatic interface. To do that
73 <div class="fragment"><pre>
74 >> wb = LTPDAworkbench
75 </pre></div>
76
77 If you loose the variable <tt>wb</tt>, for example, by using the <tt>clear</tt> command, then you can
78 retrieve a handle to the workbench by doing
79 <div class="fragment"><pre>
80 >> wb = getappdata(0, <span class="string">'LTPDAworkbench'</span>);
81 </pre></div>
82
83 More advanced uses of the workbench command interface (such as creating pipelines from LTPDA objects), are
84 described in <a href="lwb_buildProgram.html">Building pipelines programatically</a>.
