Script naming:
•
If the
name
parameter is an empty string, or
name
is absent (or
nil
) and the script name cannot
be extracted from the file,
scriptVar
is the only handle to the created script.
•
If
name
is given (and not
nil
), any script name embedded in the file is ignored.
•
If
name
conflicts with the name of an existing script in the
script.user.scripts
table, the
existing script’s name attribute is set to an empty string before it is replaced in the
script.user.scripts
table by the new script.
•
If
name
is absent or
nil
, the command attempts to extract the name of the script from the file.
Any conflict between the extracted name and that of an existing script in the scripts table
generates an error. If the script name cannot be extracted, the created script's name attribute is
initialized to the empty string, and must be set to a valid nonempty string before saving the script
to nonvolatile memory.
Example
myTest8 =
script.load("/usb1/filename.tsp",
"myTest8")
Loads the script
myTest8
from the USB
flash drive.

Details
The
name
parameter is the name that is added to the
script.user.scripts
table. If
name
is not
given, an empty string is used, and the script is unnamed. If the name already exists in
script.user.scripts
, the existing script's
name
attribute is set to an empty string before it is
replaced by the new script.
Note that
name
is the value that is used for the instrument front panel display. If this value is not
defined, the script is not available from the front panel.
You must save the new script into nonvolatile memory to keep it when the instrument is turned off.
