2 <h2> Overview </h2>
3
4 <p>
5 An LTPDA Workbench is a collection of pipelines. Each pipeline can have sub-pipelines
6 which are represented as <i>subsystem blocks</i> on the parent canvas. Nested subsystems
7 are supported to any depth. </p>
8 <p>
9 Only one LTPDA Workbench can be open at any one time, but a collection of pipelines
10 in a workbench saved on disk can be imported to the current workbench.
11 </p>
12 <p>
13 Each block/element must have a unique name on a particular canvas.
14 </p>

16 The following annotated screen-shot describes the main elements of the workbench
17 interface:

23 <h2> Starting the Workbench </h2>
24
25 <p>
26 To start the LTPDA Workbench, click on the launcher on the LTPDA Launch Bay. Alternatively,
27 the workbench can be started from the command window by typing:
28 <div class="fragment"><pre>
29 >> LTPDAworkbench
30 </pre></div>
31 </p>
32 <p>
33 You can also get a handle to the workbench so that you can use the programmatic interface. To do that
34 <div class="fragment"><pre>
35 >> wb = LTPDAworkbench
36 </pre></div>
37
38 If you loose the variable <tt>wb</tt>, for example, by using the <tt>clear</tt> command, then you can
39 retrieve a handle to the workbench by doing
40 <div class="fragment"><pre>
41 >> wb = getappdata(0, <span class="string">'LTPDAworkbench'</span>);
42 </pre></div>

44 More advanced uses of the workbench command interface (such as creating pipelines from LTPDA objects), are
45 described in <a href="lwb_buildProgram.html">Building pipelines programatically</a>.
