Section 8: Instrument programming Series 2600B System SourceMeter® instrument Reference Manual
8-32 2600BS-901-01 Rev. F/August 2021
Programming example: User script
The following script puts a message on the front panel display slowly, one character at a time. The
intent of this example is to demonstrate:
• The use of a for loop
• Simple display remote commands
• Simple Lua string manipulation
When creating a script using the TSB Embedded, you do not need the shell commands
loadscript and endscript, as shown in the examples below.
Example: User script
User script created in TSB Embedded
User script created in user's own program
display.clear()
myMessage = "Hello World!"
for k = 1, string.len(myMessage) do
x = string.sub(myMessage, k, k)
display.settext(x)
print(x)
delay(1)
end
display.clear()
myMessage = "Hello World!"
for k = 1, string.len(myMessage) do
x = string.sub(myMessage, k, k)
display.settext(x)
print(x)
delay(1)
end
Password management
The 2600B has password capabilities that let you decide how to password protect the instrument.
Password protection prevents unauthorized access to any remote interface and reserves the
instrument exclusively for your use.
When password usage is enabled, you must supply a password to change the configuration or to
control an instrument from a remote command interface.
