Delete user scripts from the instrument

In most cases, you can delete the script using script.delete() as described in
scripts (on page 6-13) and then turning the instrument off and then back on again. However, if you
cannot turn the instrument off, you can use the following steps to completely remove a script from the
instrument.
When you completely remove a script, you delete all references to the script from the runtime
environment, the script.user.scripts table, and nonvolatile memory.
To completely remove a script:
1. Remove the script from the runtime environment. Set any global variables that refer to the
script to nil or assign the variables a different value. For example, to remove the script
"beepTwoSec" from the runtime environment, send the following code:
beepTwoSec = nil
2. Remove the script from the script.user.scripts table. Set the name attribute to an empty string
(""). This makes the script nameless, but does not make the script become the anonymous script.
For example, to remove the script named "beepTwoSec", send the following code:
script.user.scripts.beepTwoSec.name = ""
3. Remove the script from nonvolatile memory. To delete the script from nonvolatile memory,
send the command:
script.delete("name")
where name is the name that the script was saved as. For example, to delete beepTwoSec, you
would send:
script.delete("beepTwoSec")
You can also use TSB Embedded to delete a script from nonvolatile memory. In the TSB Embedded
page, select the script from the User Scripts list and click Delete.
