The text-based commands may also be generated by external tools and scripts rather than by AWE Designer. An example script, written in Python 3.11, is shown below. This script connects to the AWE Server at TCP port 15007 (to bypass port 15001, which AWE Designer GUI uses) and reads and writes the ScalerDBControl module’s currentGain variable in an active layout in real-time. The remainder of this document describes the full set of tuning commands and arguments.
The AWD which works with this script is attached below. Load this into Audio Weaver, then build and run the layout. The script has been tested with Python versions 2.7 and 3.11.
