Running the user script
Remote programming
The functions for the KIGeneralUser user script can be called after the script is run as follows:
KIGeneralUser()
After the above command is executed, any of the functions that make up the user script can be
called in the same manner that factory script functions are called (see
Step 1: Call the function).
Front panel operation
To run the script from the front panel, a test name has to be added to the USER TESTS submenu
of the LOAD TEST menu. Since the KIGeneralUser script is made up of eight functions, a front
panel user test must run the script and also call a function. The following command will add the
test name “PulseVMeasI” to the menu. It will also configure the test to run the
KIGeneralUser
script and call the
PulseVMeasureI function:
display.loadmenu.add("PulseVMeasI", "KIGeneralUser() PulseVMeasureI()",
display.SAVE)
Because no parameters are used in the function (PulseVMeasureI()), the test will be interactive
and require the operator to input the test parameters using the front panel controls. See
How do I
run a script from the front panel? for details on running a user script from the front panel.
The command display.loadmenu.add can be used to configure front panel user tests for the
other functions of the script. Make sure to use a different menu name for each function. For
