Scripting

There are two ways of running scripts in IBEX - locally, and on the IBEX server.

Scripting in IBEX is done using python, with the genie_python library. The genie_python reference documentation gives a full account of what functions are available.

This page is intended to give a broad guide to scripting for the beginner and novice user. For a more in-depth discussion, see our genie_python and IBEX training course.
