This tutorial will guide you through creating your first block with the Embedded Python Block.

Embedded Python Block

The Embedded Python Block is a tool to quickly prototype a block within a flowgraph. Search for the Python Block and add it to the workspace:

Double-click the box to edit the properties. The Embedded Python Block has two properties,

  1. Code, a click-box which contains a link to the Python code for the block and
  2. Example_Param, an input parameter to the block.


Click on Open in Editor to edit the Python code:
