Profinity V2 IS NOW IN EARLY ADOPTER RELEASE

Profinity V2 is available now in Early Adopter Release. To support this release we are making the product available to our Early Adopter Community. If you have any issues or feedback please report it via our support portal or via the Feedback form in the Profinity Admin menu.

Run Scripts

Run scripts are the most flexible and commonly used script type in Profinity. They can be executed either manually by users or automatically on a schedule, making them ideal for a wide range of automation tasks. These scripts are perfect for operations that need to be performed either on-demand or if scheduled at specific intervals, such as data collection, testing, or system configuration tasks.

Characteristics

• Can be executed manually or on a schedule
• Can interact with CAN bus, DBC files, and state management
• Support for console output
• Can be used for testing, data collection, and automation
• Support for cancellation handling

Examples

The following examples demonstrate how to implement each script type in the supported programming languages. Each example shows the basic structure and key features of the script type, including proper initialization, execution flow, and cleanup. Note that while the examples are simple, they illustrate the essential patterns needed for each script type.

This example demonstrates a Run script that:

• Prints messages to the console
• Implements a loop that continues until the script is cancelled
• Shows how to handle script cancellation
• Demonstrates proper cleanup when the script ends
