Visual Studio Code example for Weigl WEM Script control files

Visual Studio Code

A familiar editor.
Smarter scripting.

Use the Weigl WEM | Script extension for syntax highlighting and command snippets that make Control.ini files easier to read and write. The extension also supports vscode.dev.

Modify generated code or create your own show logic, games and playlists. Upload finished code through Configurator or a timeline application. WEM | Script is a free, published protocol; a licensed timeline application is not required to write your own scripts.
