On a gateway with vision and perspective, I would like to know in a script if it is executing in vision context or perspective context ?

If you just need to distinguish Perspective from Vision, I’d use `com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.model.ApplicationScope#getGlobalScope`  
e.g.

```auto
from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.model import ApplicationScope
isVision = ApplicationScope.isClient(ApplicationScope.getGlobalScope())

```
