Explain编程参考

The data acquisition procedures for most electrochemical techniques in Gamry
electrochemical instruments are implemented as user-accessible scripts. A script is a
specialized computer program used to define and control the sequence of events during an
experiment. The language used for these scripts is called Explain™. An Explain compiler is
built into the Gamry Framework Software.
Explain is a simple, but powerful, computer language designed specifically for writing
experimental scripts. Explain was developed from a version of the Smalltalk language,
written by David Betz, called Extalk. Extalk is too cumbersome for the needs of experimental
control, so Gamry redesigned and simplified it. Explain provides a very crisp, readable, and
modifiable script language which preserves most of Extalk's modern object oriented
characteristics.
