Getting Started with Automation Interface
1 Create an object that refers to your selected board and processor. Enter the
following command at the p rompt.
cc=ticcs('boardnum',boardnum,'procnum',procnum)
If you were to watch closely, and your machine is not too fast, you see Code
Composer Studio software appear brieflywhenyoucall
ticcs.IfCCS
IDE was not running before you created the new object, CCS starts and
runs in the background.
2 Enter visible(cc,1) to force CCS IDE to be visible on your desktop.
Usually, you need to interact with Code Compo ser Studio software while

visible,
controls the state of CCS on your desktop.
visible accepts Boolean inputs
that make C C S either visib le on your desktop (input to
