Details
This function is appropriate only for TSP-enabled instruments.
This function downloads a script to a remote instrument and runs it. It automatically adds the appropriate
loadscript and endscript commands around the script, captures any errors, and reads back any prompts.
No additional substitutions are done on the text.
The script is automatically loaded, compiled, and run.
Any output from previous commands is discarded.
This command does not wait for the script to complete.
If you do not want the script to do anything immediately, make sure the script only defines functions for later use.
Use the tspnet.execute() function to execute those functions at a later time.
If no name is specified, the script is loaded as the anonymous script.
Example
tspnet.tsp.runscript(myconnection, "mytest",
"print([[start]]) for d = 1, 10 do print([[work]]) end print([[end]])")
Load and run a script entitled mytest on the TSP-enabled instrument connected with myconnection.
