Details
After adding code to the load menu, you can run it from the front panel by pressing the
LOAD
key, then selecting
User
to select from the available code to load.
After loading the code, you can execute it when the
RUN
key is pressed.
You can add items in any order. They are always displayed in alphabetic order when the menu is selected.
The code can be made up of scripts, functions, variables, and commands. If
memory
is set to
display.SAVE
,
commands are saved with the code in nonvolatile memory. Scripts, functions, and variables used in the code are
not saved by
display.SAVE
. Functions and variables need to be saved along with the script. If the script is not
saved in nonvolatile memory, it will be lost when the Models 707B and 708B are turned off. See Example 2
below.
If you do not make a selection for
memory
, the code is automatically saved to nonvolatile memory.
