NC Interface
cocoaNEC includes an input method that uses a programming language to describe the antenna model. The language is patterned after the C Programming Language and because of that, I have called it NC (for "NEC C").
The following tutorial leads you through the steps of creating a simple dipole antenna using NC in cocoaNEC 2.0. You can use this tutorial in the future as a quick reference. The Reference Manual describes NC in greater detail.
