Fig. 2-28 . The script editor is used to display and edit each script. The script title is
presented in the title box (A) with the command lines or script elements displayed in
a box below (B). Further script elements can be added by “dragging” them from the
iconised selection (C).
Each script consists of two parts: a title, presented in the title box (A, Figure 2-28), which is used
to identify the script when loaded into the FMS and a sequence of script elements which are to be
executed in descending order during the experiment (B, Figure 2-28).
Editing, down-loading and script file handling functions are contained within the “drop-down”
menu whilst further commands may be added using a “drag and drop” procedure to select items
from the two pages of iconised script elements (C, Figure 2-28).

The first step is to create a new file from the Files group on the “drop-down” menu. The editor will
prompt for a script title (maximum of 10 characters) which is also used to identify the script on the
FMS display screen after it has been downloaded.
