What is a script?

Scripts are simple computer programs which process and manipulate sensor data in real time. In the context of innius a script is a prerequisite for virtual sensors to produce real-time data.

Scripts are associated with a specific machine, and may be running several virtual sensors. They are managed in the innius Admin app.

To access or create a script, select your machine in the innius Admin app.  If you want to add a script, select the "Scripts" tile, click on the dot_icon.png(1) icon and press the button "Add script" (2). If you want to access an existing script, click on the "Scripts tile" and select which one you wish to edit.
