 The driver exposes a callable named //log// that can be used in task programming to log messages to ISAAC.
+===Steps in ISSAC===
+Register the Pixilab Blocks module under setup/modules in the ISSAC system.
+The events and the variables specified in the driver will be added automatically. Please note, full-stop and commas are prohibited in the ISAAC scheduler so edit the name of the variables and events once discovered in ISAAC.
+At this point it is possible to use the schedules in ISAAC to run any of the specified tasks by scheduling that event at a specific time. It is also possible to track any changes to specified variables.
+Please use the vendors documentation for any details on how to use ISAAC.
