New Scripting Features in Ignition 7.7

Wow, there is so much to write about Ignition 7.7. One of the things I've always liked about Ignition is that while it provides a lot of functionality and capability out of the box, it also provides a great deal of flexibility and ways to customize and add additional functionality. Ignition 7.7 is really exciting because it is more of this. It can do more things out the box and it has additional powerful ways to customize and create new functionality.

Python scripting in Ignition 7.7 is undoubtedly more powerful and the editing interface is smoother than ever before.
