Tools

The Tools menu includes the following options:

1. Backup scripts: Back up all scripts in a *.gz file.

   NOTE: Script backup does not include user libraries; those must be backed up separately.

2. Restore scripts: Restore a script from an archive (*.gz) file with two possibilities:

   • Remove existing scripts and import from backup.

   • Append, keeping existing scripts.

3. Print script listings: Shows all scripts with codes in a list format, sorted by categories.

4. Edit custom JavaScript: Insert JavaScript code for script control.

5. Show logs window: All log data is listed here; it is a duplicated window from Configuration → Logs. It allows debugging a script while simultaneously checking the logged data.

Example: Sample code for 1-Byte Object 1/0/0 controlling navigation between pages

$(function(){
  /* Create an event listener on 1/0/0 to jump to the page with the object value */
  const addr = Scada.encodeGroupAddress('1/0/0');
  objectStore.addListener(addr, function(obj, type) {
     /* To avoid execution on the opening page */
     if (type === 'init') {
       return;
     }
     /* Jump to the page with the object value */
     if (currentPlanId !== obj.value) {
       showPlan(obj.value);
       /* Write the object back to 0 */
       setObjectValue({ address: '1/0/0', rawdatatype: 5 }, 0, 'text');
     }
   });
 });
