Autorun scripts
When a saved script is set to autorun, it will automatically load and run when the Series 3700 is
turned on. Any number of scripts can be set for autorun. The run order for these scripts is
arbitrary, so make sure the run order is not important.
To set a script for autorun, set the following autor
un attribute to ―yes.‖ Setting it to ―no‖ disables
autorun.
myscript.autorun
Where: myscript is the user-defined name of the script.
Make sure to save the script in nonvolatile memory after setting the autorun attribute.
Example:
Assume a script named ―test5‖ is in the run-time environment. The script can be set to autorun
as follows:
test5.autorun = "yes"
test5.save()
The next time the Series 3700 is turned on, the ―test5‖ script will automatically load and run.
NOTE
The loadandrunscript name comm
and sets the autorun attribute for that script to ―yes.‖ To
cancel autorun, set the autorun attribute to ―no‖ and save the script.
Autoexec script
One script can be designated as the autoexec script. When the Series 3700 is turned on, the
autoexec script will start after all the autorun scripts have run.
loadscript autoexec
loadandrunscript autoexec
An autoexec script can be formed by creating a new script and naming it autoexec (as shown
above using loadscript or loadandrunscript). After loading the new script, send the
autoexec.save() command to save it in nonvolatile memory. See
Creating a user script
(on page
2-16) for details on creating a script.
Running a user script from the Series 3700 front panel
The following commands are used to enter or delete a name into the User menu:
display.loadmenu.add(displayname, script)
display.loadmenu.delete(displayname)
