The

can also copy a script to a script that runs each time the instrument power is turned
on. You can access scripts that are in the instrument or on a USB flash drive.

USB flash drive. You can also delete scripts from the instrument or USB flash drive.
The

lists of the instrument into a configuration script. You can use this script to recall the
settings.
The options in the
Record
menu allow you to record your actions and store them in
a macro script. The script can be run and managed like any other script using the
options in the Scripts menu or remote commands. Note that only settings are
stored; no key presses or front-panel only options are stored.
