Create a script
1 Set up Edit View for the script: If you’re creating a script that applies to open waveforms, open a file typical of the
ones you’ll apply the script to. Then select a range if needed.
2 Choose File > Scripts. The Script Collections area displays the name of the currently opened script collection.
3 If the script collection you want isn’t open, do one of the following:
• To open an existing script collection, click Open/New Collection, navigate to the collection (SCP) file, and then
double-click it.
• To create a new script collection, click Open/New Collection. Navigate to the folder in which you want to save the
new collection (SCP) file. Then, type a name in the File Name text box, and click Open.
• To rename a script collection, click Edit Script File. The collection (SCP) file opens in Windows Notepad. Locate
the “Collection:” entry on the first line, and type a new name. Then save the file.

Run a script
After you create a script, you can run it on a file, an entire waveform, or part of a waveform, depending on the script type.
To run a single script on a batch of files, use the Batch Processing command. See “Batch process files” on page 260.
1 Set up Edit View to match the starting point of the script. For example, if you want to run a script intended for a
waveform, open a file and select a range. If you want to run a script that starts from scratch, close all open waveforms.
2 Choose File > Scripts. The Script Collections area displays the name of the currently opened script collection.
3 If the script collection you want isn’t open, click Open/New Collection. Navigate to the collection (SCP) file you
want, and double-click it.
4 Select the script you want to run from the list.
