Advanced

Scripting is an advanced function that provides the means for customizing and using scripts.

Caution!

The scripting function is a very powerful tool. Improper use may cause unexpected behavior or even loss of contact with the unit. If a script does cause problems, reset the unit to its factory default settings (in which case, a previously saved backup file will be useful for returning the unit to its latest configuration).
