Execution buttons : script execution and stop buttons. The START button runs the script
immediately, without the need for the programmed stimulus to occur. The script must be saved
before you click on this button in order for the changes to be applied. This is useful for testing.
The STOP button stops the running of the
script . These functions are especially useful during
script programming, as they allow you to check the actions executed by each script and debug
the code.

• Status : shows the status of the script : RUNNING (flashing) the script is running, or STOPPED
(steady), the script has finished or stopped.
• Script output : output/return value of the script . You can write output messages that will appear
on this screen. This is useful for debugging scripts.

The following chapters show a number of examples of simple scripts . Keep in mind that this PLAYER
ONE/PLAYER ZERO programming and customization tool is very powerful, as the same script can
execute several tasks which can be linked together, depending on various circumstances, and thus
implement an entire logic and intelligence in the way it works.
The only limit is your imagination!
