To avoid a script running multiple times when there is an error in the script (especially at runtime) the script will not complete execution unless there is an incomingValue; (or any other output, such as a calculated value) as the very last line of a script.

For example if you do this:

if (incomingValue.getQuality()==0) {
  //do something here
} else {
  //do nothing
}

There is no final value calculated so this script will execute exactly one time after the application starts up

If you do this:

if (incomingValue.getQuality()==0) {
  //do something here
} else {
  //do nothing
}
incomingValue;

this script will execute every time a new value is received by the script which is likely what you intend to happen.

This is a change which was implemented in early 2024 so if you have old projects without this final “incomingValue;” you can add this last line in the script manually to every script, or you can use the steps below (please make a copy of your project before doing this in case there is a corruption of the file after the process).

1. make a copy of your project tsx as a backup 2. make sure the project is not loaded in TransSECS and make sure TransSECS is not running (exit TransSECS) 3. On Windows use Notepad++ to load the project tsx. You can change the file type to xml if you like, but this is not necessary
