Extron ControlScript Deployment Utility (part number 79-774-01) — deployment and debugging tool for Extron control programs written in Visual Studio Code.

Control system programmers building projects in Microsoft Visual Studio Code need a way to push finished code onto Extron processors and diagnose it once it's running. This utility handles that transfer, loading and retrieving projects from connected hardware and surfacing Program Logs and Trace Messages so a developer can see what the processor is actually doing without pulling it off the rack. Paired with the ControlScript Extension for VS Code, it brings ControlScript libraries directly into the editor.

Key Capabilities

• Deploys Visual Studio Code control programs directly onto Extron control processors
• Loads and retrieves complete projects from connected processors
• Includes Program Logs and Trace Messages for runtime debugging
• Pairs with the ControlScript Extension for VS Code to add ControlScript libraries
• Supports current Python 3.11 language features for control scripting
• Works with any Python editor that follows the ControlScript Extension project structure
