gvscript Basics

gvscript is the Python interface for calling LiDAR360MLS functions and runs only inside LiDAR360MLS. Import mls, then call tools by business module:

from gvscript import mls

result = mls.system.get_software_version()
print(result.result)

gvscript example

Two calling styles

Use module wrappers such as mls.project.get_project_info() for normal scripts. They provide documentation, parameter validation, and completion. For a known exact tool ID or dynamic dispatch, use:

import gvscript

result = gvscript.run_tool("get_software_version", {})
print(result.tool_id, result.result)

tool_id must be a non-empty string, and params must be a dictionary or None. Prefer module wrappers for fixed business workflows.

Discover APIs

1. Type mls. to browse modules.
2. Type a concrete module and trailing period, such as mls.project., to browse functions.
3. Hover over a function for documentation and parameters.
4. For a tool with Parameters, call *_parameters() and type params. to discover fields.

Module index

This guide provides module-level discovery only. The parameter reference for the 127 public tools is maintained as a separate API documentation task. Availability depends on the installed build, plug-ins, license, and application state.
