4. EDL

• Basics   Basic principles.
• Sections   The sections of an EDL script.
• Syntax   Basic syntax of EDL scripts.
• Variables   Using variables and arrays.
• Assignment operations   Assigning to variables.
• Array ranges   Indexing parts of arrays
• Arithmetic   Doing calculations with variables.
• Conditional operator   Using the '? : ' construct
• Control structures   Flow control in EDL scripts.
• Miscellaneous   Additional syntactic elements

To do an experiment using fsc2 you may have to write a script describing the experiment. While this can look like a daunting task if you have no programming experience it has the advantage that you have complete control over the way the experiment will be done. You don't have to rely on some programmer (who probably isn't around when you need him or her most) to have gotten everything right before you even started planning the experiment. And writing EDL scripts really isn't that difficult as I hope I can convince you in the following.
