Visual and Text Authoring

Use the Visual editor or the CCL editor to edit projects in ESP Studio.

The Visual editor lets you create and edit projects without learning CCL syntax. Similar to the editor in Aleri Studio, it adds support for new functionality, including new stream and window types, simple query objects that are comparable to Aleri Stream types, and advanced features such as modularity.

The CCL editor lets you edit CCL files as text, and provides syntax completion options, syntax checking, and error validation. Experienced programmers can work in the CCL editor exclusively, or use it as a supplement to the Visual editor.

You can easily switch between the Visual editor and the CCL editor at any time. Changes made in one editor are reflected in the other.
