Using and Modifying a VAS

[Paul Groot]

Hi Chris,

I'm not aware of being blacklisted anywhere, but I will attach the EP2 VAS
example script and package to this email. The version-2 script uses an
eprime package to simplify importing the code in your own scripts. You will
need to use the PackageFile editor of EP2 to open/edit the embedded
scripts. I'm not sure if that will be required, because the name of the Vas
slide can be specified as argument in the InitVas package call. (You will
have to edit this after copy-pasting. I think the example script shows 3
different Slide objects) However, feel free to edit the code provided
inside the VAS package.

Best,
Paul
