Create a script using TSB Embedded
If you are using TSB Embedded to create scripts, you do not need to use the commands
loadscript or loadandrunscript and endscript. For information on using TSB Embedded,
select the Help button on a web page or the Help option from the navigational pane on the left side.
You can create a script from the instrument web page with TSB Embedded. When you save the script
in TSB Embedded, it is loaded into the runtime environment and saved in the nonvolatile memory of
the instrument.
To create a script using TSB Embedded:
1. In the TSP Script box, enter a name for the script.
2. In the input area, enter the sequence of commands to be included in the script. Line numbers are
automatically assigned.
3. Click Save Script. The name is added to the User Scripts list on the left.
