The script works in two parts:

• A Turret version that is gathers information about a turret outpost and broadcasts a report through its antenna.
  
• A Base version that receives turret reports and displays them on an LCD.

Turret outposts must be individual grids that have a turret, a program block with the script and an antenna.
When installing the script at your Base program block be sure to set the IsTurret setting in the script to false, and put "[X-TM:setup]" in CustomData of at least one LCD's. Make sure broadcasting is enabled for the antenna on the Base grid. The program blocks will update on their own, they do not need to be triggered by a timer.
The turret program blocks can update on their own (set autoupdate in CustomData), or can be triggered by a timer.
Notes about other configuration settings are written in the script as well as additional program functions and their arguments.
NOTE: When using long update periods turret engagement time may be updated frequently
enough leading to inaccurate times displayed.

• 1.196 ready,
  
• use of IGC and new TextPanel functions,
  
• Script performance incresed up to 300% for Turrets and 800% for LCD Updates
  
• support multiple LCDs, but dropped support for scrolling
  - put "[X-TM:setup]" in CustomData of LCDs to get default Config for these LCD
  - Recompile script to scan for new or changed LCD settings
  
• Config is now stored in CustomData of programable Block (easy to edit and to keep config over script updates)
  - use Recompile to parse config again after edit
  
• 3 Timers can be configured to be triggerd if a Turret got "engaged / warning / alert" state since last update
  
• Baseping is less frequent by default (30sec), auto update (or timer ) on turret should be more frequent (5sec)
  the turret auto update (or timer) is needet for the script to detect if turret is engaing an enemy,
  script will check if turret is shouting during an update, so if update periots are to long it may will not get the engaging
  
• Battery Status (MWh/kWh stored, Charglevel in % and +/- to show if it get charged)
  
• support all type of turrets and ammo (but still only one type per remote grid)
  
• reserve Ammo in containers or connectors
  
• support to start/stop/trigger/set timer on turret gird
  
• support to run programable Blocks on turret with argument
  
• support to set broadcastrange of turret antenna
  
• support to toggle blocks when turret gets toggeld on/off (may be usefull for lights)
  - if there are lights within these blocks, they can be used to flash if turret is out of ammo or to damaged to operate

• Pausing the game may cause the turrets to timeout. They should refresh after a while once the game is un-paused again.

• support more than one Turret or even AI-Slave Weapons on remote grid
  (only monitor, no AI-Slave Script will be included)
