The Lua block is used for manipulating a lua script that can run on the device.

The Lua block is an implementation of a universal control (see Universal Control).

Data types

The list of supported datatypes is as follows:

entity_type_cstring

ASCII character.

entity_type_sequence

Sequence of potentially heterogeneous entities.

Conceptually similar to C struct.

Lua

Lua

Lua block parameters implement a Lua subsystem on the device

Script State

Sets the state of the lua scripting engine

Source Filename

The name of the Lua source file

Source Timestamp

The ISO8601 formated timestamp of the Lua source file

Bytecode Filename

The name of the Lua bytecode file

Bytecode Timestamp

The ISO8601 formated timestamp of the Lua bytecode file

Description	Lua block parameters implement a Lua subsystem on the device.
Optional	No
Type	sequence / entity_type_sequence / a sequence of parameters follow
Count	6

Added in version	future

Name	Script State
Description	Sets the state of the lua scripting engine. Valid enumeration strings are Stopped Running Run Pending Users should select the Running or Stopped state as required.
