Get Started

This chapter provides a brief introduction to getting started with automation scripting. Please be aware that there are specific coding conventions and limitations to follow when writing scripts.

These are outlined in the Coding Conventions and Constraints section.

Script

An Automation Script in the DaVinci Configurator 6 automates tasks such as creating and updating projects, manipulating the data model, and generating code, with DaVinci Configurator 6 serving as the execution engine for these scripts.

A script can be implemented as:

a Script File
a Script Project

For details to the script structure, see Script Structure.
