It's called the "explicitVariables", and it is a global property that is a
boolean. It defaults to 'false'. Usually it is put into a 'preOpenStack' or
'openStack' handler to get it started, and since it is a global property, it
lasts for the entire session. Use it something like this:

on preOpenStack
    set the explicitVariables to true
end preOpenStack

You can read and write directly to ports, but I don't know much about
accessing or controlling cameras/scanners directly.

Agreed!
