System SourceMeter® Instrument Reference Manual Section 6:
2600BS-901-01 Rev. B / May 2013 6-43
If the new name is the same as a name that is already used for a script, the name of the existing
script is removed and that script becomes unnamed. This removes the existing script if there are no
other variables that reference the previous script. If variables do reference the existing script, the
references remain intact.
Changing the name of a script does not change the name of any variables that reference that script.
After changing the name, the script is located in the script.user.scripts table under its new
name.
Figure 117: Rename script
For example, to change the name of the script named test2 to be autoexec:
test2.name = "autoexec"
test2.save()
The autoexec script runs automatically when the instrument is turned on. It runs after all the scripts
have loaded and any scripts marked as autorun have run.
You can also use the script.new() and the scriptVar.source attribute commands to create a
script with a new name. For example, if you had an existing script named test1, you could create a
new script named test2 by sending the command:
test2 = script.new(test1.source, "test2")
See script.new() (on page 7-165).
