scriptVar
The name of the variable that references the script that contains the source code
code
A string that contains the body of the script
Details
The
loadscript
or
loadandrunscript
and
endscript
keywords are not included in the source
code.
The body of the script is a single string with lines separated by the new line character.
The instrument automatically stores the source for all scripts that are loaded on the instrument. To
free up memory or to obfuscate the code, assign
nil
to the source attribute of the script. Although
this attribute is writable, it can only be set to the
nil
value.
Example
test7 = script.new("display.clear() display.settext('Hello from my test')", "")
print(test7.source)
This example creates a script called
test7
that displays a message on the virtual front panel and retrieves
the source code.
Output:
display.clear() display.settext('Hello from my test')
