SHIP:System Variable

Within SHIPTide and the SHIP runtime environment, there are numerous system variables available for monitoring and controlling the SHIP environment.

System Variable	Data Type	Permissions	Description
shiplaunch	Boolean	Read Only	This boolean transitions false to true once on GUI boot. This enables listeners to do launch-time initialization.
shiplanguage	Language	Read/Write	This variable sets/tracks the current system language in 4 letter codes system time. You can change these values, but they are only retained across power cycles if the platform has battery-backed RTCC capabilities.
shiplanguages	String	Read Only	This variable contains sequences of 4-letter Language codes. This list of languages is the set configured in SHIPTide for your GUI project, and the first one in the list is the 4-letter code for the default GUI language.
shiptime	Time	Read/Write	This variable tracks the current system time. You can change these values, but they are only retained across power cycles if the platform has battery-backed RTCC capabilities.
