display.loadmenu.add()
This function adds an entry to the USER menu, which can be accessed by pressing the LOAD key on the
front panel.
Usage
display.loadmenu.add("displayName", "code")
display.loadmenu.add("displayName", "code", memory)
The name that is added to the USER menu
The code that is run from the USER menu
Determines if code is saved to nonvolatile memory:
â–ª 0 or display.DONT_SAVE: Does not save the code to nonvolatile memory
â–ª 1 or display.SAVE: Saves the code to nonvolatile memory (default)
Details
After adding code to the load menu, you can run it from the front panel by pressing the LOAD key,
then selecting USER to select from the available code to load. Pressing the RUN key will then run the
script.
You can add items in any order. They are always displayed in alphabetic order when the menu is
selected.
Any Lua code can be included in the code parameter. If memory is set to display.SAVE, the entry
(name and code) is saved in nonvolatile memory. Scripts, functions, and variables used in the code
are not saved by display.SAVE. Functions and variables need to be saved with the code. If the
code is not saved in nonvolatile memory, it is lost when the 2601B-PULSE is turned off. See
Example 2 below.
If you do not make a selection for memory, the code is automatically saved to nonvolatile memory.
You can create a script that defines several functions, and then use the display.loadmenu.add()
command to add items that call those individual functions. This allows the operator to run tests from
the front panel.
Example 1
display.loadmenu.add("Test9", "Test9()")
Assume a user script named "Test9" has been loaded into the runtime environment. Adds the menu entry to
the USER menu to run the script after loading.
