Welcome to the Beta for Ignition 8! With the opening of the beta forum, we have opened up our new User Manual to you.
There is a wealth of knowledge already available in the updated version of the User Manual. New systems like the Perspective module already have a lot of information for you to read up on. We have also done a bit of re-arranging to the structure of the docs to make it more clear when a concept belongs to a particular module and to (hopefully!) make everything easier to find.
Check out the User Manual now to learn more about everything in Ignition 8.
We need your help to improve the manual!
Pardon our dust, the manual is still a work-in-progress. Many images are outdated or missing, but this will get better over time. Please let us know if you find anything confusing or inaccurate in the manual. The more feedback we get, the better the documentation will be.
Would it be possible that your share the ppt sources of the 3 or 4 very easy understandable Ignition backend and frontend stack architecture, with Vision and Perspective that you presented at the ICC18 in Introducing the Ignition Perspective Module ? It would be a very usefull material for us to explain Ignition to the newbies.
Oops! Nice catch Brian. it now reads:
“We strongly suggest you utilize message handlers when a script is trying to interact with a component in another view.”
Also, not entirely sure about the intent of this example…
//Use "=" to compare quality codes against constant names or integer codes
"== " + (qualityOf({[default]Sensor 1/Reading}) = {../Label.props.text}) //Returns "== true" if the quality code matches a property
Not sure what the point of the == is at the start of the return string?
Haha, reminds me of an old movie with fuel-powered lights that keep turning on to the wife’s dismay, only this time the wife actually knows what’s going on
