\par \b Overview
\verbatim
Matlab is used as the GUI to allow the “application programmer” to define a control process via a graphical diagram. The output of Matlab is a text file
, which describes the various parts and their connections. This text (.mdl) file is then used by the RCG in the compilation process.
All parts that RCG supports are contained in the CDS_PARTS.mdl library file in the $ROOT/src/epics/simLink directory, where $ROOT is the top level direc
tory of the particular advLigoRTS checkout. Graphical representations of the individual parts in this library are contained in the simLink/lib directory
. Note that the CDS_PARTS are only graphical parts which contain information necessary for the RCG parsers in compiling code. They are not true Matlab p
arts, as they have no Matlab code associated with them.

\par \b Adding a new part to the library.
\verbatim
There are three steps involved in creating a new library part to the RCG:
        1) Creating a GUI component in RCG_LIB/src/epics/simLink/lib.
        2) Adding the new GUI component to the CDS_PARTS.mdl libary file.
        3) Adding supporting Perl scripts.
