For example, to set up a two-second beep, you can send the command:
beepTwoSec = script.new("beeper.enable = 1 beeper.beep(2, 2400)", "beepTwoSec")
To run the new script, send the command:
beepTwoSec()
When you add beepTwoSec, the global variable and script.user.scripts table entries are
made to the runtime environment, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 132: Runtime environment after creating a script
Create an unnamed script using script.new()
Unnamed scripts are not available from the front-panel display of the instrument. Only the
anonymous script and named scripts are available from the front-panel display.
When you create a script using script.new(), if you do not include name, the script is added to the
runtime environment as an unnamed script. The script.new() function returns the script. You can
assign it to a global variable, a local variable, or ignore the return value. A global variable is not
automatically created.
For example, send the following command:
hello = script.new('display.clear() display.settext("hello")')
A script is created in the runtime environment and a global variable is created that references
the script.
To run the script, send the command:
hello()
