You can take advantage of the open architecture of EMTP^® to create customized toolboxes. A toolbox can contain libraries, documentations, scripts, DLLs and examples. Its content is loaded automatically when EMTP^® starts and is completely integrated into the program.

 

To create a toolbox, proceed as follows:

   -  Go to « C:\Program Files\EMTPWorks 3.XXX\Toolboxes », you will find some EMTP^® native toolboxes,
   -  Create a new folder « MyToolbox »,
   -  Open this new folder « MyToolbox »,
   -  Create a folder for each type of file included in the toolbox (DLL, Documentations, Examples, Libraries, Scripts…)

 

 

 

 

   -  Create a text file with the name of your toolbox and the format (.ini): « MyToolbox.ini »

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   -  In this text file, set the relative paths to allow EMTP^® to point to the appropriate folders. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now EMTP^® automatically:

    -  Opens your libraries when it starts
    -  Retrieves the scripts,   
    -  Finds the DLLs called by devices or scripts [see "DLL documentations" in the EMTP^® Software]
    -  Puts the designs of the Examples folder in the section « Open an Example File »

 

As an illustration, find here a Micro-grid toolbox entirely based on this feature.

Feel free to develop your own toolbox and share it on the EMTP exchange platform.
