I want setup a time script that i can run script for simulating running conditions. most scripts are event etc. Wondware has a scripting function called application script that allows script to be run on a cycle time you set, simulator to a plc scan time. im sure ignition can do this but i have not had any luck setting up the gateway time script. ---

Here's the user manual entry for the [Gateway Event Timer Script](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Gateway+Event+Scripts#GatewayEventScripts-TimerScripts) if that helps. If you have tried setting this up but have been unsuccessful, what have you tried (post the code)? ---

you can also set up tags in a "fixed rate" execution mode.. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/2/3218c62a2e901f7a3b993cb7598a85efccde1086.png)
