Global variables and the script.user.scripts table

When working with script commands, it is helpful to understand how scripts are handled in the
instrument.
Scripts are loaded into the run-time environment from nonvolatile memory when you turn the
instrument on. They are also added to the run-time environment when you load them into the
instrument.
A script in the run-time environment can be:
•
A named script

An unnamed script

•
An entry for the script is added to the script.user.scripts table.
