===== Application hints =====
  * have a look at the examples linked above!
  * write your code in a text/notepad module, and patch this into the ''Script Code'' input port
  * before compiling the Javascript code all inputs and outputs used in the code must be patched - else you get a compile error
  * the main function in your Javascript code must be named ''Execute()''
  * inputs and outputs are referred to as ''inputs[0]'' or ''outputs[1]''
  * inputs and outputs can conduct text/strings or numbers
  * the javascript language is well documented in thousands of websites and books. A good starting point is https://www.w3schools.com/js/
