Details
The name parameter is the name that is added to the script.user.scripts table. If name is not given, an
empty string will be used, and the script will be unnamed. If the name already exists in script.user.scripts,
the existing script's name attribute is set to an empty string before it is replaced by the new script.
Note that name is the value that is used for the instrument front panel display. If this value is not defined, the
script will not be available from the instrument front panel.
You must save the new script into nonvolatile memory to keep it when the instrument is turned off.
Example 1
myTest8 = script.new(
"display.clear() display.settext('Hello from myTest8')", "myTest8")
myTest8()
Creates a new script referenced by the variable myTest8 with the name "myTest8".
Runs the script. The instrument displays "Hello from myTest8".
Example 2
autoexec = script.new(
"display.clear() display.settext('Hello from autoexec')", 'autoexec')
Creates a new autoexec script that clears the display when the instrument is turned on and displays
"Hello from autoexec".
