"Hello Button: An Introduction to Tcl/Tk"
Peter Hiscocks and James Gaston
This paper provides a very brief introduction to the Tcl/Tk programming language, with a focus on using Tcl/Tk
to create a ’virtual instrument’ graphical user interface control panel on a PC platform, under Linux or Windows. We show some simple examples of Tcl/Tk programming and provide pointers to further information.

An editor for generator waveforms by Alvin Yeung is here. The waveform editor was written in Tcl/Tk for a previous version of the generator hardware, so it will need some minor modifications to work with the current hardware.
