Feature	Description
Excel	Read/write Excel files
Keyboard	Create and manage keyboard shortcuts
TCThread	Multi-threading support
Trigger	Event-driven automation
Notification	Monitor device notifications
MTE	Managed Test Execution framework

Excel Operations

// Read Excel
var excel = new Excel("C:/data/test.xlsx");
var value = excel.get(0, 0);     // row 0, col 0
excel.setSheet(1);                // switch sheet
var data = excel.readExcel();     // read all

// Write Excel
excel.set(0, 0, "Result");
excel.save();
excel.close();

Keyboard Shortcuts

// Create shortcut
var kb = new Keyboard("Ctrl+F1", function() {
  print("Shortcut triggered!");
  device.sendAai({ query: "T:Start", action: "click" });
});

// List shortcuts
var shortcuts = Keyboard.searchObject();

// Remove shortcut
kb.unregister();

Threading

// Create and run thread
var thread = new TCThread(function() {
  for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    device.sendAai({ action: "click(T:Refresh)" });
    delay(1000);
  }
});
thread.start();

// Wait for thread completion
TCWait([thread]);

Event Triggers

// Create trigger for device events
var trigger = new Trigger("appChange", function(event) {
  print("App changed to: " + event.app);
});

// Anti-sleep trigger
Trigger.antiSleep(true);   // prevent device auto-sleep

// List triggers
Trigger.list();

// Disable trigger
trigger.disable();

Notification Monitoring

var notif = new Notification();
notif.setDevice(device);
notif.setApp("com.whatsapp");
notif.setMatch("New message");

notif.setListener(function(msg) {
  print("WhatsApp: " + msg);
  // Auto-respond or log
});

MTE (Managed Test Execution)

// Test context
var context = MTE.getContext();
var device = MTE.getDevice();

// Set test status
MTE.setStatus("PASS");
MTE.setMessage("Login test completed");

// Stop test
MTE.stop();

Global Shared Object

Share data between scripts using _shared:

// Script A
_shared.testData = { users: 100, passed: 95 };

// Script B
var data = _shared.testData;
print("Pass rate: " + (data.passed / data.users * 100) + "%");

System Utilities

// Format output
console.log("Status: %s, Count: %d", "OK", 42);

// Load external scripts
tcLoad("helpers/utils.js");
sigmaLoad("sigma/advanced");

// Prompt for user input
var name = prompt("Enter device name:");
var choice = winSelectButtons("Select mode", ["USB", "TCP", "Cancel"]);

Preload Scripts

Configure scripts to load automatically when Total Control starts:

1. Place scripts in the preload directory
2. They execute before any manual script
3. Good for setting up global functions and shortcuts
