Manage NetLogics in Q Studio¶

Introduction

The code contained in a NetLogic is changed using an editor external to Q Studio to benefit from all the code development assistance functions like IntelliSense, refactoring and automatic completion.

Q Studio supports Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, 2019 and Microsoft Visual Studio Code. If these are not available, another code editor can be used as desired, but the above-listed functions will not be available.

To install Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code, please refer to the Microsoft website.
