Script
By means of scripts complex measurement procedures can be controlled automatically.
Scripts are programs which are written in several script languages. Scripts are almost exclusively provided
as source files in order to enable an easy editing and adjustment of the program.
11.6.1
Editor
By means of the script editor you can draw up scripts which can control, for example, complex measuring
procedures automatically. An example is given in Fig. 11.29 – the beam find procedure with the BeamMoni-
tor BM+.
In order to open the script, the Open symbol has to be clicked, then a file can be chosen and played by using
the button
. The button stops and ends the script.

11.6.3
Python
Starts the Python editor. The graphical user interface is identical to the one depicted in Fig. 11.29. Python is
a programming language with efficient abstract data structures and a simple but effective approach for an
object-oriented programming. Python is not only suitable for scripts but also for a fast application development.
For detailed information about the script control, see the separate description “Documentation for the Python
Script Control of the PRIMES LaserDiagnosticsSoftware”.
