Details
The name attribute 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 name attribute of the existing script is set to an empty string before it is replaced by the new script. Also, if a
name is not given, an empty string is used for the name.
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: Create new script
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."
