Loading a script using a USB flash drive

display.

1. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the front panel.
2. Press the MENU key.
3. Under Scripts, select Manage. The MANAGE SCRIPTS window is displayed.
4. In the USB Scripts list, select the script you want to copy from the USB flash drive.
5. Select <. The file is transferred to the instrument, and the corresponding filename is displayed i
n
t
he Internal Scripts box.
Load a script by sending commands over a remote interface
To load a script over the remote interface, you can use the loadscript and endscript
commands.
Normally, when the instrument receives a command, it runs the command immediately. When the
instrument receives the loadscript command, the instrument starts collecting subsequent
messages instead of running them immediately.
The endscript command tells the instrument to stop collecting messages. It then compiles t
he
c
ollection of messages into a script. The script is stored as a function. This script is loaded into the
run-time environment — you need to save it to store it in the instrument.
To load a script:
Send the loadscript command with a script name. This tells the instrument to start collecti
ng
m
essages for the function named testInfo:
loadscript testInfo
Send the commands for the script; this example displays text on the USER swipe screen when the
script is run:
display.settext(display.TEXT1, "Batch 233")
display.settext(display.TEXT2, "Test Information")
display.changescreen(display.SCREEN_USER_SWIPE)
Send the command that tells the instrument that the script is complete:
endscript
Run the script by sending the script name followed by ():
testInfo()
The USER swipe screen on the front panel is displayed and shows the text "Batch 233 Test
Information" when you run this script.
