Scripting and Syntax

DGLux5 script (DG Script) is a small scripting language that looks like JavaScript. Use it when a calculation or a piece of logic is easier to write as code than to build from dataflow blocks.

Where You Can Use Script

A first script, in a Script block: 

var total = 0;
for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
  total += i;
}
print("done");
return total;   // the block's output becomes 55
