What does this extension do?

The wiremod Lua extension Laser is designed to be used with Wire Expression2 in mind and implements general functions for retrieving various values form a dominant source entity or database entries. Beware of the E2 performance though. You can create feedback loops for controlling source beam parameters. The data type is standard for E2 and can be located here.

What is the wiremod Laser API then?
