This view shows the Lua Scripts and their enabled status

Tip! Lua Scripts are triggered by Data Receivers - When data is received by the Data Receiver it will fire off any scripts which are set to receive data. For example Axia GPIO

Click this dropdown to select the Data Receiver

Axia
UDP Rx
MAM1 4020 Rx
MAM2 4021 Rx
Http

Tip! Lua Scripts can be used to store data and properties - in this case no Data Receiver is selected

None
DataReceivedBytes
DataReceivedUtf8
AxiaDataReceived
DataReceivedJson
DataReceivedXml

Tip! Datatypes can be Bytes / UTF8 ASCII / AxiaDataReceived Object / Json Object or XML

Alert! When creating a new script there must be an Entry Function called the same name as the Script

--defines a factorial function
    function TestScript1(n)
    if n == 0 then
    return 1
      else
    return n * fact(n - 1)
    end
    end
    print("enter a number:")
    a = io.read("*number")-- read a number
    print(fact(a))
