<div class="markdown_content"><p>I figured some of it out. The offline help is indeed a documentation of the C# methods/classes of the ScriptEngine.dll. They do add some blurbs about how this interfaced in the Python script, but it's a real mess.</p> <p>Where I'm stuck is that I want to read/write to a current running simulation. create_online_application() can be used to create a new connection, but I don't see a function to connect to an existin connection. Is there not one provided?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I'm trying to find more info about using Python in e!Cockpit. More specifically, I cannot find API information. Pressing F1 on the Scripting screen brings up the offline help, which tells me to open ScriptEngine.chm; but that file seems to document the API calls to the ScriptEngine.dll and not the Python API. The online help for Python has much more relevant information (https://help.codesys.com/webapp/cdsaccesscdsfuncinpythonscripts;product=codesys;version=3.5.16.0) but the link to the API brings up an empty page. </p> <p>What am I missing?</p></div>
