Introduction

V language

V is AVS/Express' language for defining objects and applications. V is a textual alternative to the Network Editor.

AVS/Express stores all object definitions as V text files or binary V files. This includes objects you create and save in the Network Editor.

V components

A V file can contain comments, statements, and commands.
