If you will be writing Measurement Plans, you’ll be doing it in the MP Editor. Some companies even have employees whose primary (or only) job responsibility is to write Measurement Plans— these people may spend most of their working hours in this editor!
The MP Editor provides a graphical interface for writing scripts. It carries a few traits from a traditional IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that experienced programmers might recognize. But most importantly, it is not a text editor. Scripts are written in a point-andclick, drag-and-drop fashion instead of writing text-based commands. This makes the learning curve more acceptable for most users.
