Note: Starting with InTouch HMI 2026, StringCompareEncrypted() function is deprecated, and will therefore not be available for use in InTouch scripts. Importantly, after the upgrade of the InTouch application, all occurrences of the StringCompareEncrypted script function will have no effect at runtime and will always return 0.
