Series 2600A System SourceMeter® Instruments Reference Manual Section 19: Remote Commands
script
Use the following commands to load a script from the front panel and to save a script to the USB
flash drive.
script.load
Function Creates a script from a specified file.
TSP-Link
accessibility
This function cannot be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage myscript = script.load(file)
myscript = script.load(file, name)
myscript The created script, or nil if an error is encountered.
file The path and file name of the script file to load.
name The name of the script to be created.
Remarks • If the name parameter is an empty string, or name is absent (or nil) and the script name cannot
be extracted from the file, myscript is the only handle to the created script.
• If the name parameter is present and not nil, any script name embedded in the file is ignored.
Furthermore, if name conflicts with the name of an existing script in the
script.user.scripts table, the existing script’s name attribute will be set to an empty string
before it is replaced in the script.user.scripts table by the newly created script.
•If the name parameter is absent or nil, the command attempts to extract the name of the script
from the file. Any conflict between the extracted name and that of an existing script in the
script.user.scripts table generates an error. If the script name cannot be extracted, the
created script's name attribute is initialized to the empty string, and must be set to a valid non-
empty string before saving the script to internal memory.
• The file path may be absolute or relative to the current working directory.
• The script’s name attribute is initialized to a value which (if not the empty string) also serves as
the key used to access the script through the script.user.scripts table. Optional; if
absent or nil, an attempt is made to extract the script’s name from the file.
• The file to be loaded must contain the loadscript or loadandrunscript keywords, the
body of the script, and the endscript keyword.
