Advanced scripting for TSP
The following topics describe advanced information that can help you understand how the Test Script
Processor (TSP
®
) scripting engine works.
Global variables and the script.user.scripts table
When working with script commands, it is helpful to understand how scripts are handled in the
instrument.
Scripts are loaded into the run-time environment from nonvolatile memory when you turn the
instrument on. They are also added to the run-time environment when you load them into the
instrument.
A script in the run-time environment can be:
•
A named script
•
An unnamed script
•
The anonymous script (which is a special unnamed script)
When a named script is loaded into the runtime environment:
•
A global variable with the same name is created to reference the script more conveniently.
•
An entry for the script is added to the
script.user.scripts
table.
