Section 6: Instrument programming
To change the name of a script, use the command:
scriptVar.name = "renamedScript"
Where:
scriptVar
"renamedScript"
After changing the name, you need to save the original script to save the change to the name
attribute.
For example:
beepTwoSec.name = "beep2sec"
beepTwoSec.save()
beep2sec can be run using the command:
script.user.scripts.beep2sec()
If the new name is the same as a name that is already used for a script, the name of the existing
script is removed and that script becomes unnamed. This removes the existing script if there are no
other variables that reference the previous script. If variables do reference the existing script, the
references remain intact.
Changing the name of a script does not change the name of any variables that reference that script.
After changing the name, the script can be found in the script.user.scripts table under its new
name.
Global variables
name
beepTwoSec
script.user.scripts table
beep2sec
For example, to change the name of the script named test2 to be autoexec:
test2.name = "autoexec"
test2.save()
The autoexec script runs automatically when the instrument is turned on. It runs after all the scripts
have loaded and any scripts marked as autorun have run.
