Types of script triggers

In the InTouch HMI, scripts are divided into seven types. Each type of script has one or more triggers you can select to launch a script.

• An application script has three triggers: on startup, on shutdown, and while running. Each trigger can execute a different script.

• A window script has three triggers: on show, on hide, and while showing. Each trigger can execute a different script.

• A key script has three triggers: on key up, on key down, or while down. Each trigger can execute a different script.

• A condition script has four triggers: on true, while true, on false, and while false. Each trigger can execute a different script.

• A data change script executes when the value of a certain tag or expression changes.

• An action script executes one time or periodically when an operator selects an InTouch HMI graphic object.

• An ActiveX event script executes one time when a certain ActiveX event occurs, such as selection of the ActiveX control.
