What do you like best about PSCAD?

PSCAD automation with python scripting is a great step forward. The Automation Library developed in Python which interfaces with PSCAD allows users to perform tasks in PSCAD easily and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PSCAD?

PSCAD Automation Library Documentation is really helpful in developing custom scripts. Better if it is more clear and descriptive. Also it's better if there's a way to extract measurements from control panels and some meters i.e. FFT component through custom python script.
