Parameter	Type	Description
Code ✱	string	The Python code to run, saved with the schedule.
Simulation Duration	TimeSpan	How long the step takes when a schedule is planned. The Python is not run while planning.
Drives a Device	bool	On means this step's Python controls an instrument: choose it as the Device, and a plan shows it busy for the step. Off means the step uses no device.
Device	string	The device the Python drives. A plan shows it busy for the step's simulation duration, and the Python can read its name.
Notes	string	A free-text note kept with this step. It changes nothing at run time. Shown on the step in the schedule editor and in the event log. Use it to record why the step is here.
Enabled	bool	Whether this step runs. Clearing it skips the step when the schedule runs. The step stays in the schedule, in place and still configured.
