Retrieve a script using TSB Embedded
In TSB Embedded, from the User Scripts list, select the script you want to retrieve. The contents of
the script are displayed. See
(on page 6-36) for more information.
Delete user scripts from the instrument
In most circumstances, you can delete a script using
script.delete()
(as described in
(on page 6-11)), and then turn the instrument off and back on again. However, if you
cannot turn the instrument off, you can use the following steps to completely remove a script from the
instrument.
When you completely remove a script, you delete all references to the script from the run-time
environment, the
script.user.scripts
table, and nonvolatile memory.
