Can simulation scripts be used in PLECS Standalone?

Problem description: 

I'd like to initialize component values and simulation parameters from a script and then invoke a simulation. Ideally I could run a script that runs and compares several simulations, each with unique parameters. Since PLECS Standalone doesn't use MATLAB and its scripting capabilities, is this possible?

Solution: 

Yes, initialization parameters can be included in the simulation settings for a specific PLECS Standalone model, but scripts, including .m files, can also be called for parameter sweeps and invoking simulations.

PLECS Standalone has an internal scripting tool with a syntax very similar to MATLAB.

PLECS Standalone also offers an XML-RPC interface allowing any other program that can send XML-RPC requests to control PLECS externally. Many scripting languages support XML-RPC out of the box, for example Python or Ruby. Other scripting language extensions for XML-RPC support are available for free on the internet.
