The Saber Suite : SaberScope , SaberSketch , and Saber , consists in a complete development environment for complex systems. However, some tips are not always identified or are difficult to find.

format p1 - p2 :

This format was valid for the version 4 .* of SaberScope . Maybe is it still functionnal ? Its advantage was to easily build ASCII files by scripting directly readable by SaberScope .

The format consists of two files whose names have the syntax
*.p1.* et *.p2.*. For "p1" separators can be tabs or spaces, except for the first line where the separation is delimited by spaces. The first line of "P2" may be a comment by a "# ". The data can be separated by commas, spaces or tabs.

	"courants.p1.test" file :
	
	data_file    courants.p2.test
	xname	t
	xunits  s
	ynames "Input current @ 25.5v Rinrush = 0.4/In"	i(v_sin.v_b)	i(v_sin.v_c)
	yunits A A A
	
	"courants.p2.test" file :

Comments, sentence termination et line continuation, file inclusion

•   #  "sharp" symbol, comment in beginning of line
    or after a completed command
•   ;  semi-colon for readability to keep the brace on the same line
     for instance : struc {number n1, n2 ; } var_array[*]
•   \  "backslash" symbol, continuation character
•   <  File inclusion , must be the first character of the line
    for instance : "<consts.sin"

Initializing arrays :

In a Mast function, it is possible to initialize a fixed-length array directly. However the trick is to declare it before intitializing it :

	struc {
	  number n1, n2
	  } var_array[*]
	  
	var_array = [(0,1),(2,3)]
	
	# or struc {number n1, n2 ; } var_array[*]
