Reference Note 1 Basic Lua script is supported in some of the TOPWAY Smart LCD to enhance the flexibility. Engineer may refine the Smart LCD functionality with script. The provided Lua functionality support most of the features of Lua 5.3 except OS operation and file I/O. (please refer to lua.net for Lua 5.3 details) It also extended with hmt library for Smart LCD variables access, function control and value return etc. 2 TOPWAY Smart LCD script and variable 2.1 Lua Scrip structure Basic structure -- define variable(s) Script_Variable01 = 0x00 Advance structure with hooks -- define...
