Autorun scripts
Autorun scripts run automatically when the instrument is turned on. You can set any number of scripts
to autorun. The run order for autorun scripts is arbitrary, so make sure the run order is not important.
As shown in the example below, you can set a script to run automatically by setting the .autorun
attribute of the script to "yes" and then saving the script.
Example:
scriptVar.autorun = "yes"
scriptVar.save()
Where: scriptVar is the user-defined name of the script.
To disable autorun, set the .autorun attribute of the script to no and then save the script.
The scriptVar.save() command saves the script to nonvolatile memory, which makes the
change persistent through a power cycle. See Save a user script to nonvolatile memory (on page
10-10) for more detail.
Example: Set a script to run automatically
test5.autorun = "yes"
test5.save()
Assume a script named test5 is in the runtime environment.
The next time the instrument is turned on, test5 script
automatically loads and runs.
Autoexec script
The autoexec script runs automatically when the instrument is turned on. It runs after all the scripts
have loaded and any scripts defined as autorun have run.
To create a script that executes automatically, create and load a new script and name it autoexec.
See Create and load a script (on page 10-3).
You must save the autoexec script to nonvolatile memory if you want to use it after instrument
power has been turned off and then turned on again. See Save a user script to nonvolatile memory
(on page 10-10) for more detail.
Example: Creating an autoexec script with the loadscript command
loadscript autoexec
display.clear()
display.settext("Hello from autoexec")
endscript
autoexec.save()
Creates the script autoexec.
Saves the autoexec script to nonvolatile
memory. The next time the instrument is
turned on, Hello from autoexec
is displayed.
