LuaScript

The path of a Lua script to run to determine whether a record or pair of records should be included in the output from the ESP task.

Specify an absolute path or a path relative to the directory specified by LuaDirectory.

The script must define a function with the name pred. The function must return either true or false.

The response to the result of the function depends on the type of ESP task.
