Script editor in Field-Map Data Collector

Field-Map Data Collector has a very powerful script editor useful particularly for Field-Map developers. The editor runs in an independent window and you can immediately debug your OnChange, OnValidate and OnLayer scripts as well as Global events. The button “Script editor” is disabled by default. You can activate it in the System2.ini file stored in “C:\Users\Public\ FieldMap” (Win Vista and 7) or “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\FieldMap” (Win XP). For modification of the System2.ini file use the software Notepad.
