Perspective scripts are run in the gateway, not on the client PC. Your print output is trying to print on the gateway.

Use [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-perspective/system-perspective-print](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-perspective/system-perspective-print) instead.

Use your browser's Web Developer Tools (F12) console to view the output.

In addition to what @Transistor already mentioned, keep in mind that Ignition's scripting engine is Jython, which uses Python **2.7** syntax, where `print` is a statement, not a function.

So you should `print something`, not `print(something)`. I believe the latter works in this case because the syntax essentially ignores the parentheses, but if you keep trying to use Python 3 syntax you're going to run into other problems.
